Sebastien Buemi not ruling out F1 return

Sebastien Buemi is not ruling out a return to Formula One, but insists only a "good offer" would persuade him to return.

Since leaving Formula One at the end of 2011, the former Toro Rosso driver has become a two time world champion in the FIA World Endurance Championship (2014) and Formula E (2015/16).

He has also stayed on the books of Former employer Red Bull, where he has served as a test driver.

Most recently he was in action for the team at Mugello last week where he drove a modified 2015 car to test the 2017-specification Pirelli tyres.

"With these wide tyres the cars look super cool, and they're fun on the inside of the car as well," he told the Swiss newspaper Blick.

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has spoken to Renault about making Buemi an F1 offer. Buemi currently drives for the French manufacturer in Formule E but he admits that a return to F1 is unlikely, saying: "It would have to be a good offer for me to give everything up."
