Swiss racer Sebastien Buemi was confirmed as Red Bull Renault's test and reserve driver for the 2008 season, a launch-pad for his F1 debut with Scuderia Toro Rosso a year later.
The youngster from Aigle in Switzerland took part in five GP2 races in 2007, standing in for former Red Bull protégé Michael Ammermuller and finishing in the points on four occasions.
In addition Buemi finished as runner-up in the F3 Euroseries. Prior to that Buemi has raced in the A1GP series and was runner-up in the German Formula BMW championship in 2005.
As well as testing with Red Bull in 2008, the 2002 European karting champion competed in the GP2 series with Arden International. Buemi proved consistent but was not a challenger for the championship, finishing the season in sixth position.
Despite a relatively disappointing 2008 campaign, Buemi will make his Formula One race debut in 2009 with the Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso Ferrari team and it remains to be seen if he can take over where Sebastian Vettel left off...
