Introduction To The Sebastien Buemi Blog

Welcome to the Sebastien Buemi blog!

First, lets clear one this up. This blog is not by Sebastien Buemi, it’s about Sebastien Buemi. I’m going to blog about his Formula 1 career, starting from his first season (ie 2009 - this season!).

Why Sebastien Buemi?

First and foremost I’m an F1 fan, but I have a soft spot for Toro Rosso and I also have a soft spot for exciting younger drivers breaking through into Formula One. Sebastien Buemi combines these.

He’s shown very promising form coming into his first season and has all the hallmarks of a future superstar.

Can he translate his potential into performance? Will he be able to follow in Sebastian Vettel’s footsteps (not that he has to)? Will Torro Rosso be able to compete at the same level as they did last year (which surprised everyone)?

There are so many questions and the season ahead is shaping up to be a fascinating one. I’m very excited by it, particularly the Sebastien Buemi angle, so I thought, why not document it all in a blog.

Besides, what does any know about Sebastien Buemi? Nobody wants to hear more about Lewis Hamilton - a great driver, but over exposed! People do want to know more about Sebastien Buemi. I think it’s much more interesting to explore a fresh face, rather than look at an established star.

I hope someone out there gets value from this blog – if you do, please leave a comment! Let’s all get behind Sebastien Buemi in his first season.
