Jul.20 (GMM) As expected on Monday morning, Toro Rosso announced that 19-year-old Spanish rookie Jaime Alguersuari will replace Sebastien Bourdais "as from this weekend's Hungarian grand prix".
Team boss Franz Tost said the total ban on-season testing will make his debut, to make history as the youngest ever grand prix competitor, even more difficult.
"I do not expect anything from him for at least his first three races, during which he has to get used to the car, the team and to the formula one environment," he said.
