Apr.21 (GMM) Sebastien Buemi has earmarked himself as a contender to race onto the formula one grid in the near future.



The 19-year-old Swiss, currently Red Bull Racing's test driver and a GP2 competitor, reveals that he is "fighting" to be selected as one of the energy drink-backed formula one racers as soon as possible.



Referring to RBR's current drivers, he said: "I am fighting to get their seats, and they are under pressure to keep them.



"It is a very competitive atmosphere, and that keeps an edge between us, I guess. We keep it professional, though."



Buemi was speaking to the local Jamaica Gleaner newspaper, ahead of his demonstration of a Red Bull F1 car on the streets of capital city New Kingston early next month.
