Sebastian Buemi has defended his driving after rumours that it is him, not Jaime Alguersuari, uncer pressure to perform better or risk losing his seat to Daniel Ricciardo during the season.
The teammates are currently equal on eight points apiece, but Alguersuari has upped his performance of late and has finished eighth in the last two races, whilst Buemi took tenth in Canada and finished out of the points in Valencia.
The Swiss driver though, says he is clearly faster than his Spanish teammate who has been lucky with his strategy,
“I am working harder and at some point it will pay off,” Buemi told the Swiss media.
“I was clearly faster than Alguersuari in both qualifying [sessions], and in Valencia he had another set of [new] tyres because he missed the first hurdle in qualifying,” added Buemi.
“Of course I have to live with it, and what counts in the end is the speed, and I have that.”
