Helmut Marko has bluntly admitted that he has no qualms about ousting drivers.

Leading observers and drivers are predicting a big step forward for the Toro Rosso team this season with its innovative car. Some also predicted that the STR6 is so good that it is even better than the impressive Lotus Renault R31.

"I think this year will be much better. My feeling with the new Toro Rosso is very good," Spaniard Alguersuari said in an interview with El Pais.

"We cannot expect to be ahead of Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren, but we can beat Force India and Sauber. Actually, if we can be between 12th and 14th on the grid and finish the championship ahead of those teams, we would be satisfied," added Jaime Alguersuari.
