    Alguersuari rejected a drive because he thought his 2012 seat was safe

    Jaime Alguersuari says he rejected a 2012 drive thinking his Toro Rosso seat was safe - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com

    If this is true - and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't -, it doesn't say anything good at all about Red Bull driver management. But then again, it's nothing we didn't know already, is it?

    Yup, F1 is a tough business. Alguesuari should have known better than to take them at their word without them confirming it in ink.

    Never assume. I'm sure there's a hackneyed and overused saying about that.

    If true, Red Bull were unfair with Jaime, but my sympathy for him disappears after his rude remarks about Williams and HRT. What an arrogant prick.

    Bloody naive but then I do have sympathy. Red Bull have treated him like s**t considering that The Helmet thinks Buemi is more worthy of RBR reserve driver.

    What rude comments?
    That Williams want pay drivers?
    Or that a drive for HRT would be the end of his career?
    Both comments seem fairly accurate...

    Rude remarks, I don't get this at all.

    I don't really get that to be honest? He seemed pretty honest in his opinion and I'd agree with it.
