Sebastien Buemi has admitted his career will probably stay on its current course in 2014.<\/p>\n

\"Sebastien-Buemi\"Daniel Ricciardo has been signed by Red Bull’s champion team for at least three years, and the other energy drink-owned F1 squad, Toro Rosso, looks likely to field Jean-Eric Vergne alongside rookie Antonio Felix da Costa next season.<\/p>\n

It means that if former Toro Rosso driver and current Red Bull reserve Buemi, the 24-year-old Swiss, wants to return to the grid, he will have to do so at a non-Red Bull team.<\/p>\n

“The doors are still open,” he told Brazil’s Totalrace, “but nowadays it is very difficult because of the financial situation.<\/p>\n

“It is not easy when they (teams) are looking for (drivers with) money.”<\/p>\n

For the last couple of years, Buemi has split his time between serving as the Red Bull reserve at grands prix, and racing for Toyota in endurance sports cars.<\/p>\n

He said: “My goal is to return to formula one, obviously.<\/p>\n

“But I am very happy to be here,” said Buemi, referring to Toyota, with whom he finished second in this year’s fabled 24 hour Le Mans race.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great car, we are in a big fight, and I’m doing my best to succeed here.<\/p>\n

“I am happy with the situation here at Toyota and what I’m doing with Red Bull, so why not go on like this for another year?” said Buemi.<\/p>\n
