Toro Rosso team boss Franz Tost believes there is a lot more to come from Jaime Alguersuari.

Spaniard Alguersuari finished the 2010 season on a high when he held off Ferrari's Felipe Massa for more than three quarters of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to claim two points.

Although he finished the campaign with only five points - three less than team-mate Sebastien Buemi - Tost believes the 20-year-old had a lot of "highlights" this year.

"[It was] not only a strong end of the season, Jaime generally had a good season," Todt told Autosport.

"Remember back in Australia when he fought against Michael Schumacher for 30 laps. In Malaysia he did a fantastic race. There have been a lot of highlights."

With a full Formula One season now under his belt, Tost is convinced we can expect bigger and better things from Alguersuari in 2011.

"I think that he learned this season how to set up the car, how to drive the car, and I'm looking forward to the next season because I think he has matured enough to continue improving himself," said Tost.

"But we must also give him the right tools. He still needs a good car, and then I'm convinced he can do an even better job."
