Q&A With Toro Rosso’s Sebastien Buemi

Red Bull


Question: Sebastien, how did the practice session go for you today? In the afternoon it seemed a slow start and some problems, but then things picked up well…

Sebastien Buemi: I had a bit of overheating and as we were not quite sure what the reason was I was told by the pit to come in, so as not to spoil my chances for the weekend. After we had fixed it everything went quite smoothly and I was quite satisfied with my ninth place in the afternoon. But clearly there is room for improvement, so I am really looking forward to qualifying.

Question: You’ve four Grands Prix under your belt. Are you satisfied with your start into your Formula One race career?

Sebastien Buemi: I would say that I am quite happy, because we were able to score points twice. Our objective is to score as often as possible and in the end this is exactly what we did, so I am very happy with the way it turned out so far. Of course you can always do better, and at the races where we have scored we could have scored more, but this is the way it is.

Question: You’ve shown that you are a worthy replacement for Sebastian Vettel and that his shoes aren’t too big for you to fill. How is the feedback from the team?

Sebastien Buemi: For sure it was very important for the team to be sure to have another driver that can do the job. At the moment I have the feeling that the team is quite happy. I still have a lot to learn, and also a lot to improve, but overall we are going in the right direction, even faster than we had expected. Everybody is giving the maximum, and at the last races the team has done an excellent job.

Question: What is your goal for this race?

Sebastien Buemi: We want to do as well as we did in China. The objective is to get into Q3 and score some points. We know that it will be difficult, but we will do our best.
