Sébastien Buemi reveals that he could have returned to Formula 1 in 2019 to Toro Rosso. However, instead of coming in as Brendon Hartley’s replacement, he decided to continue on his path towards WEC and Formula E.  He turned down the opportunity and settled for a role as a reserve driver. This allowed Alexander Albon to switch to the junior team before being promoted to Red Bull Racing shortly after.
