Zoom A strong race from Bourdais at Fuji Speedway

Toro Rosso chiefs will delay the decision about the team's 2009 driver line-up until after the conclusion of the current season, the Spanish sports newspaper Marca reports.

Sebastian Vettel is set to leave the Faenza-based team for parent squad Red Bull Racing at the end of the year.

Team bosses are also contemplating whether or not to renew the contract of Vettel's current team-mate, Sebastien Bourdais, for 2009.

Team boss Franz Tost praised the French driver after last weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, following a difficult rookie season.

"Bourdais was a front runner right from the beginning, going on to have his best ever race for us," the Austrian said.

In the frame for 2009 race seats are Sebastien Buemi, Takuma Sato and Bruno Senna.
