Toro Rosso has fuelled rumours that Sebastien Buemi [http://www.fiaformulae.com/en/championship/drivers/sebastien-buemi/] could be set for a surprise return to the team as the Italian outfit looks to replace the departing Pierre Gasly. The team posted a photo of the 2015-16 Formula E champion undergoing a seat fitting, captioned: “Ciao Seb! Our reserve driver stopped by earlier today for another seat fit.” Whilst it’s not unusual for a reserve driver to undergo a seat fitting, it’s often something that takes place before the season has begun, whilst a second fitting in the same chassis isn’t so common and some would say unnecessary, unless a driver has drastically changed shape/weight. Also, given it’s happening at a time when the 2018 ‘silly season’ is very much in full swing and Toro Rosso are hunting for a replacement to partner Brendon Hartley – or maybe even two drivers for an all-new line-up given Hartley’s underperformance – and with limited options available after Lando Norris, a prime target for Red Bull, was announced at McLaren, Buemi is certainly a contender for the vacant seat.

Buemi has now joined a list of ex-Toro Rosso drivers who are in the frame for a return. They include, Russian drive Daniil Kvyat [https://www.essentiallysports.com/daniil-kvyat-set-toro-rosso-return/] and French driver Jean-Eric Vergne. Kvyat was racing for Red Bull before being dropped in favour of Max Verstappen. After leaving Toro Rosso, he became a Ferrari reserve driver. JEV too tread a similar path before he joined growing motor-racing series Formula E. It was there that he became the Season 4 world champion and the last champion in the Gen 1 era. The Gen 2 cars have already begun to roll out with the season starting in December. Buemi too, is a Formula E champion and will be hoping to drive for Nissan, who have taken over from Renault. Coming back to Toro Rosso, there are several candidates to fill 2 seats. Who will secure those seats, all bets are on.

<h2><strong>Toro Rosso: Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</strong></h2>
The Toro Rosso F1 team are a year younger than sister team Red Bull. Toro Rosso was largely seen as a feeder team for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/">Red Bull</a>. The team were born from the ashes of the Minardi team. When Minardi boss, Paul Stoddart sold his remaining assets to Red Bull?s Dietrich Mateschitz, Toro Rosso was the result.

A number of their former drivers have been promoted to Red Bull, namely, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/">Daniel Ricciardo</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/">Max Verstappen</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/">Daniil Kvyat</a>, and now <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pierre-gasly/">Pierre Gasly</a>.

Their driver line-up for 2019 was Russian driver Daniil Kvyat and Thai driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-albon/">Alexander Albon</a>.

The team changed the name to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/alphatauri/">AlphaTauri</a> after the 2019 season.
<h2>Best of Toro Rosso</h2>

<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
The team scored points in their first season, with Vitantonio Liuzzi finishing eighth in USA. Their big break came in 2008 at the Italian Grand Prix.

Sebastian Vettel had stunned many when he nabbed pole position at a damp Monza circuit. He would later convert that into a win, again in the damp conditions. In the process, he broke the record for the youngest pole-sitter and youngest race winner.

To this day, his pole-position record still stands, despite Max Verstappen?s efforts. It also remains as Toro Rosso?s only win in their F1 career. That year, they also had a career-best finish of sixth in the constructor?s championship.

<h2><strong>Toro Rosso?s Sponsors</strong></h2>
Toro Rosso largely share sponsors with Red Bull. For the sake of clarity, their title sponsor is Red Bull, for obvious reasons. Other sponsors include Pirelli, Honda, Siemens, and Casio. On October 19th, 2018, American fast-food giant KFC signed on as a sponsor.

Like sister team Red Bull, Toro Rosso also support Wings for Life Charity.
