Buemi also competes in the all-electric Formula E series, having won the title in 2015-16, and the World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Red Bull said in a statement: “Sebastien continues to be a highly valued member of the Red Bull Racing team and he’ll once again help drive the team forward in 2019.
” The 30-year-old, who won the WEC crown in 2014 and the Le Mans 24 Hours race in 2018, has previously driven for Red Bull’s sister team, Toro Rosso, for three years but was dropped at the end of the 2011 campaign.
