 |

| Quote: | Red Bull to change reserve driver
Red Bull and Toro Rosso are changing their reserve driver for the rest of the Formula 1 season.
Reigning British Formula 3 series champion Jaime Alguersuari replaces Brendon Hartley, who will continue racing in European F3.
Alguersuari, who is 19, will deputise if either team's first-choice drivers is unable to race.
The Spaniard's first race as reserve driver will be the German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring on 12 July.
Red Bull will be keen to keep up their momentum from the most recent race, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber finished first and second, helping the team consolidate second place in the constructors' championship.
Vettel and Webber lie third and fourth in the drivers' championship behind Brawn duo Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, while Toro Rosso drivers Sebastian Buemi and Sebastien Bourdais are 14th and 16th respectively.

He claims to be 'surprised' at being replaced!! Obviously hasn't been reading the auto press reports then!

Confirmed DC back as the reserve driver:
| Quote: | David Coulthard has stepped back into the role as the reserve driver for Red Bull's two Formula One teams.
With the energy drink outfits' former reserve Jaime Alguersuari moving into the full time Toro Rosso seat this weekend and beyond, his predecessor Brendon Hartley has opted instead to focus on his racing pursuits in F3 and the Renault World Series.
Before Hartley was granted a FIA superlicence earlier this season, Coulthard fulfilled the reserve role, and the 38-year-old Scot confirmed in Budapest on Friday that he is once again on standby for the Red Bull teams.
Coulthard, who retired last year after nearly 250 Grand Prix and 13 wins, already travels to each race as a team consultant and commentator for British television and was in action for the team last weekend in Moscow. |
