Buemi confident fortunes have changed

For the first time this season, Toro Rosso’s Sebastien Buemi left a Grand Prix feeling pleased with his result following last weekend’s Canadian round. Buemi’s strong Montreal race saw him finish eighth, which in turn boosted the solitary point he had gleaned from May’s Monaco Grand Prix to a total tally of five.

For the Swiss driver, who has endured three retirements from the eight races run, his Canada result comes as welcome relief, especially as it helped Toro Rosso pass rivals Williams in the hunt for seventh place in the constructors’ standings.
