Jaime Alguersuari has said his team-mate Sebastien Buemi was 🌜the one who was guilty of running into Nick Heidfeld in Sunday's F1 2011 opener in Australia, as pressure mounts on both of Toro Rosso men to justify their plac🦩e at the pinnacle of the sport.

Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has made no secret of the fact that Alguersuari and Buemi face competition for their seats from r💜eserve driver Daniel Ricciar൲do and the two are now doing everything they can to try and ensure they are not the one to get the boot.

Indeed after only finishing 13th and also having collided with Michael Schumacher, Alguersuari has🐼 refused to take the blame for running into Nick Heidfeld.

"I hit with Schumacher, but for Heidfeld I am not responsible," Alguersuari told Germany's Auto Motor und Sport. "I was right behind and saw exactly what happened. Seb [Buemi - my team-mate] was in corner ten fighting with the Renault and he hit h💜im at corner 11."

Alguersuaꦆrඣi's comments come in the wake of criticism from Buemi after the two touched on the opening lap.

"It's not too bad fi🌸nishing tenth, after making it to Q3," Buemi said after the rಌace, "but I think I could have done better, maybe an eighth or ninth place was possible.

"It's a shame that my team-mate and I made contact at the first corner. It's not the first time it has happened, so I think we will b🌳e having a chat about it after I've watched a recording of the incident!"

Heidfeld meanwhile, who had an awful weekend and who only finished 12th after his car was quite severely damaged on the opening lap, wasn't 🎃sure which of the Toro Rosso's was responsible.

Furthermore with the incident not 🌳caught by the TV camᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeras it seems it will remain a mystery.

"I would definitely have scored some points, but a Tor♔o Rosso hit me in turns 10 and 11 and I lost 1.5 seconds every lap [after that]," said Heidfeld.

Renault tea🎉m boss Eric Boullier added: "Nick lost KERS and ꦑthe balance was affected [after the impact]."
