Motor Sport: Spanish teenager Jaime Alguersuari will become the youngest ever Formula One driver at this week's Hungarian Grand Prix after Toro Rosso confirmed he would pilot the team's second car. The 19-year-old replaces sacked Frenchman Sebastien Bourdais.

The struggling team expect to get back up to speed with a heavily revamped car.

Toro Rosso won their home Italian Grand Prix last September with Germany's Sebastian Vettel, now with championship contenders and sister team Red Bull.

Red Bull were beaten into seventh place by Toro Rosso in the 2008 constructors standings but have transformed their position this year with three one-two finishes to challenge Brawn GP for the lead.
