Jerez Day 3: Buemi again fastest
Sebastien Buemi was fastest for the third day in a row at Jerez in Spain Thursday, just edging out his Scuderia Toro Rosso teammate Takuma Sato. Both drivers set their fastest times late morning, when the track conditions were at their best. The question is how real are the test times, i.e. are the cars light to give their 'Sugar Daddies' the false sense that they are great drivers worthy of their millions? Both drivers have a dubious history of not being great and we know the team desperately needs money.
Pity Bourdais who doesn't have any Sugar Daddy money and may lose his ride to one or both of these inferior drivers.
