New Zealand teenager Brendon Hartley has confirmed that the official test driver for Red Bull and Toro Rosso, Sebastien Buemi after promoting him to the race team.
Hartley met at Oulton Park last year during a race in Formula Three. It was not just a fantastic atmosphere after being beaten to first place team, Jaime Alguersuari. I did not get to see him the next day, after the pair moved his Red Bull-backed Carlina fork but I can not imagine that he was much happier after that.
Alguersuari success (and Oliver Turvey Carlin driver) for the title but all three showed great promise last year. While Hartley in the F3 Euroseries races this year and Turvey Aguersuari strengthened with the World Series by Renault, which updates the talents of F1, Sebastian Vettel, Robert Kubica and (in an earlier form) Fernando Alonso.
Red Bull have a lot of money in their young driver program and then Vettel had not received an enormous amount of results. Hartley is another driver to find his way in the plan, but to take this opportunity to test an early age (19) will help in the way of F1, speaking of driving when I met him.
Hartley seems to have taken a leaf from another driver for Red Bull's book style: Vitantonio Liuzzi. There are some complicated arrangement hat perched on his head when I met with two large tassels hanging around his waist. I understand that this is not the result of a lost wager, and indeed his regular hat.
