STR: Next year's drivers not confirmed yet

The Scuderia Toro Rosso drivers are not yet confirmed for next season according to the team. Some reports on the internet said the team would continue with both Buemi and Alguersuari in 2010 but a team spokesperson confirmed to GPUpdate.net the team has yet to decide its drivers for next season.

At Scuderia Toro Rosso's official website the team published a story about Fernando Alonso's move to Ferrari. At the end of the article the site said: 'In case you didn't know, there's no change in our driver line-up, so no story there.'

Numerous media saw this as a clear indication that the team will continue with both Buemi and Alguersuari but a Toro Rosso spokesperson explained to GPUpdate.net: "What I can tell you is that hiring two young drivers means to decide and invest time and energy for the future.

"We are still well focused on this year's programme and the team hasn't issued any official confirmation of the drivers line-up for next year."
