Toro Rosso Confirms Same Drivers For 2011: Toro Rosso on Thursday announced it will keep the same driver lineup in 2011. The 2010 season is Swiss 21-year-old Sebastien Buemi's second full run in Formula One, while Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari made his debut with the Faenza based team last July. "I believe our drivers will be well prepared for 2011, which is why they are both confirmed for next year," team boss Franz Tost said. "It is also logical, because one key role of Scuderia Toro Rosso is to bring on young drivers from the Red Bull young driver program and at the ages of 21 and 20, respectively, both Seb and Jaime certainly still meet the right criteria."

Red Bull Should Replace Marko With Tost - Stuck: Hans-Joachim Stuck has slammed the front wing affair involving Red Bull at Silverstone. German Stuck, a former Grand Prix driver and now motor sport boss for Volkswagen, said: "What the team management did in Britain was an absolute outrage." A furore was sparked after it emerged that team boss Christian Horner ordered the new front wing fixed to Mark Webber's car be transferred to the sister RB6 driven by Sebastian Vettel. Stuck believes the incident has all the hallmarks of the influence of Red Bull's motor sport consultant and Austrian Helmut Marko. "Christian Horner is just a puppet, the strings for Red Bull boss Dietrich Mateschitz are pulled solely by Marko," he wrote in his column for the TZ newspaper. "And whoever decided to take the new wing away from Webber qualified for his final pension. Mateschitz must respond by putting in a new man at Red Bull," he said, recommending the current team boss of Red Bull's second Formula One team for the job. "(Franz) Tost is in every respect one of the best managers in Formula One."

Mercedes Not Worried About Schu Motorcycle Test: Norbert Haug has insisted he is not concerned about Michael Schumacher's latest motorcycle outing. According to the Cologne tabloid Express, the seven time World Champion this week rented the Dijon-Prenois circuit in France in order to privately ride his 190 horsepower Honda CBR 1000 Fireblade. Also riding at the track were the 41-year-old's friends including Luca Badoer and Sebastien Loeb. Schumacher had to call off his intended return to F1 last year because he was still recovering from injuries sustained in a motorcycle testing crash. But Haug, Mercedes' competition boss, said he is not worried the same thing might reoccur. "Michael can deal with the risk, and so can we," Haug is quoted as saying. Express also reported that Mercedes GP team principal Ross Brawn is this week on a four-day fishing vacation in Norway.

Verstappen Would Have 'Trodden On' Vettel's Front Wing: According to Jos Verstappen, Red Bull Racing escaped mildly with Mark Webber's reaction to the front wing saga at Silverstone. The former Grand Prix driver, who was once Michael Schumacher's No. 2 teammate at Benetton, said he would have been furious if the wing on his car had been given to his teammate shortly before qualifying. "Mark felt poorly treated by the team leadership, and I can fully understand his anger," Verstappen wrote in his column for the De Telegraaf newspaper. "By doing this, the management was asking for trouble. I honestly don't know how I would have reacted in Webber's shoes. I probably would have trodden on the wing; if I'm not allowed to use it, then neither can he," said the former Arrows and Minardi driver. Actually, Australian Webber reacted by declaring on the radio - heard by millions of live television viewers - that his Silverstone win was "not bad for a No. 2 driver." "It gave a clear indication that the limit had been passed," Verstappen continued. "And he obviously knew that a comment like that would have much more impact than if he had taken up the issue only internally."

Jose Maria Lopez Targets F1 Debut In 2011: Jose Maria Lopez has not given up on Formula One. Before the American outfit folded, the 27-year-old Argentine and his sponsors had signed up to race for USF1 in 2010. Lopez returned to Argentina to race in the TC2000 touring car series, but at Silverstone last weekend was spotted in the Formula One paddock with his manager Victor Rosso. According to the El Diario Hoy newspaper, the pair had a series of meetings with F1 teams to disclose their available budgets for the 2011 season. The newspaper said meetings took place with Renault, HRT, Virgin, Lotus, Williams and Sauber.
