Formula 1 team Scuderia Toro Rosso are to evaluate Swiss GP2 series' driver Sébastien Buemi for a 2009 race seat when he tests for them at Jerez in Spain next month.

The GP2 race winner is a Red Bull junior driver and believed to be the preferred choice for the company's motor sport advisor Helmut Marko.

Toro Rosso co-owner Gerhard Berger confirmed that the Jerez test would be used to look at Buemi's capabilities - as the team set their sights on a combination of a young driver and a more experienced hand.
