Toro Rosso in final discussions with its drivers
07 February 2007Scuderia Toro Rosso is the only Formula 1 team who has yet to announce its drivers for the 2007 Formula 1 World Championship. Many would expect to see the team's 2006 drivers, Liuzzi and Speed, again in Melbourne but there are still rumours that they could be replaced.

Drivers such as Narain Karthikyan and Tiago Monteiro were mentioned as a possible replacement for Liuzzi or Speed. But team boss Gerhard Berger has said his 2006 duo is in pole position for the race seat in the upcoming year. "I think our two '06 drivers are in pole position. Most likely we are going this route, but it is not done yet," Berger told F1.com. "We are still working on our driver side. So far it was not the right time to make any announcement as we are in final discussions with our drivers. The moment we are ready, we will make it public."
Berger furthermore wanted to state that the driver deal has nothing to do with the budget they could bring (or not). "Money is not an issue," Berger said. "We are trying to get the best guys in our cars. We are looking for performance. Money is more than welcomed, but on the other side we are totally performance orientated and it is the performance that will get a driver a cockpit and not a hand waving a cheque. If our main criteria were money, we would have done this already."
