F1 - Who will drive for Toro Rosso in 2009?
Current forecast: Sebastien Bourdais & Sebastien Buemi (62% chance
)
)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Sebastien Bourdais & Sebastien Buemi with a probability of 62% (unchanged in last 1 day)
Sebastien Bourdais, who raced for the team in 2008, will be joined by Red Bull tester Sebastian Buemi and former Jordan and Honda driver Takuma Sato.
The drivers will be evaluated over three days at Spain's Circuit de Catalunya, starting on Monday.
Both Toro Rosso seats are up for grabs after Sebastian Vettel joined Red Bull.
Frenchman Bourdais, a four-time winner of the US-based Champ Car series, is battling to convince the team he is worthy of a second season in F1 after an up and down debut year.
Buemi, from Switzerland, is a member of the Red Bull junior team while Japanese Sato is aiming to revive his career following the collapse of the Super Aguri team early in the 2008 season.
Brazilians Rubens Barrichello and Bruno Senna are also believed to be contenders for a Toro Rosso seat.
Veteran Barrichello is also in with a chance of staying at Honda next season alongside Jenson Button.
Senna, the nephew of the late three-time champion Ayrton Senna, is also in the frame at Honda - he is testing for the Anglo-Japanese team at Catalunya next week.
