Alguersuari surprised by Toro Rosso ousting

After a surprising move by the Scuderia Toro Rosso, Jaime Alguersuari is still wondering why this came to be despite the fact that Red Bull still supported him up until a karting event in Brazil roughly a week ago. But none the less the 21 year old Catalan remains positive despite the challenges he's facing in his motorsport career.

"Just a week ago after karting in Brazil I talked with Helmut Marko and Franz Tost and they told me they had plans for me in 2012," explained Alguersuari, "They did so with enthusiasm and showed a lot of confidence in me.

"So after talking with them (now), I thought of three things: first, I will not judge the situation because it seems crazy that after debuting at 19 years old without ever doing a lap in F1 before, today’s news seems to be a major misunderstanding in the best moment of my sporting life.

"I will not judge the decision because since 15 years old Red Bull gave me everything. Second, I am not a victim because for seven years I have enjoyed the privilege because of them. And third, there is no drama, because I have many plans for the present and the future.

"The surprise lasted for a couple of hours but I have talked to my family and realised that life is full of opportunities and challenges."

And whether Alguersuari will continue in F1 is still unresolved, but many expect a seat swap with Daniel Ricciardo at the Hispania Racing Team.
