Both Buemi and his team mate Alguersuari were dropped by the Toro Rosso team at the end of 2011 to make way for some fresher faces. Buemi, 23, will join Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber at the Milton Keynes based team but will take a back seat role.
Buemi said on the matter "It's good to remain with Red Bull for another year and have this opportunity with the World Championship-winning team," before continuing, saying "I would prefer to be driving at the races of course, but working with Red Bull Racing on the development of their car and providing them with feedback throughout the season is the next best thing."
Team Boss Christian Horner has said that it was an "entirely logical" decision to make and that Buemi will attend all the races; while also completing important set up and simulation work.
