Toro Rosso 'close to insanity'

An unnamed source (hint: it was me) said on Monday that the Toro Rosso Formula 1 team may indeed have lapsed into insanity. Following the breaking up of the Sebastian/Sebastien partnership which characterised last season's commentating performances, and led to the retirement of 14 commentators*, the team have pitched in with a pairing of Sebastien and Sebastien (not to be confused with Sebastien and Sebastien). 

A spokesman for the team was heard to comment**:

"The appointment of the quite phenomenally ugly but otherwise generally fantastic Sebastien Buemi to sit alongside the existing and generally unimpressive, but not that hideous, Sebastien Bourdais represents a step forward in the confusion of commentators. We didn't feel that Sebastian Vettel's name really fitted in with the team naming ethos."

The Formula 1 season starts sooner than you think. 

* Estimated value. Inherent error +/- 14. 
** Actually, he didn't. I made that up.
