Toro Rosso Announce Driver Line-Up
Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne will be Toro Rosso's two drivers next year. In a surprise move, the small Italian team has set up a completely new driver line-up. This move now leaves Jamie Alguersuari and Sebastien Buemi without a seat next year. Time is also running out for these two, now with just 4 seats left, and really they will only have a chance at 2 of them - Williams & HRT. Ricciardo joins the team after a successful stint at HRT, while Jean-Eric impressed during the Abu Dhabi Young Driver Tests. It will be interesting to see their battle next year, as the winner may well be driving in a Red Bull next year.


HRT Have A New Boss
Luis Perez-Sala has been announced as the new boss of HRT. The 52 year old Spaniard, and former F1 race driver, replaces Colin Kolles. Luis raced for Minardi in the 1980s, but this is his first move in F1 management. His first real decision will be his driver line-up, with HRT yet to name a second driver to partner Pedro De La Rosa. After that, he must help build this small team, as they aim to catch Caterham.
