Jaime Alguersuari to Replace Sebastien Bourdais.

By Team Principal on Mon July 20 2009

In a wholly unsurprising move, Toro Rosso have announced the replacement of Sebastien Bourdais with Jaime Alguersuari, making him the youngest ever F1-driver at just 19-years old. ?Hailing from Spain, he holds the British F3 title and currently drives in the World Series by Renault for Carlin Motorsport.

It's tough enough entering F1 for the first time, but even tougher in the middle of a season and against a team mate who has driven the guy you're replacing out of a job! ?It will be very interesting to see how he performs at his debut race in Hungary.

To see a look at Jaime's career so far, including a stunt which would greatly upset the FIA, watch the video below.
