Jaime Alguersuari says he is happy with the performance of his Formula One team this season despite its limited budget.

Toro Rosso lies eighth in the 2010 world championship with 8 points, ahead of Sauber and F1's three new teams.

Alguersuari, who replaced the struggling Sebastien Bourdais halfway through the 2009 campaign, says he is happy to be with the "best team of people".

"Toro Rosso has a budget that is barely 80 million euros but they have built the car without relying on Red Bull and achieved a more than acceptable outcome," Alguersuari is quoted by the EFE news agency.

Alguersuari also said the 2010 season is the "best and most dramatic at least in the last ten years".

"The FIA has a lot to do with it because the common electronics, the single tyre brand and the unfortunate lack of testing has led to no one having a dominant position."
