It will be interesting to see how Sebastien Bourdais fares out this year in F1.

He probably got tired of dominating ChampCar. Probably wasnt a challenge for him anymore. And this will give someone else a chance to win the ChampCar championship..:D

Wink wink;):lol::lol::lol:

Spaz has his work cut out for him. No reason he shouldn't have a shot though.

Well if a driver like Doornboos can challenge Bourdais good...
Sebastien is not a high ranked driver in my head. If he gives a hard time to Vettel, then I'll change my mind ;)

Unfortunately Toro Rosso is suffering growing pains already this year, can't fit the Ferrari engine in the Renault space. postponed the cars launch.
"Toro Rosso have confirmed their new car will not be ready until mid to late February. Despite being powered by a Ferrari engine and sharing similarities with the new Red Bull car, the STR2 has faced some production delays which have meant they have had to push their launch date back by a fortnight. Rumours are circulating that it was the engine which caused the engineers the most problems - the Ferrari engine has different dimensions and mounting points to the Renault engines and it is believed there was some difficulty in adapting the car to the new engine."

Is being nearly 100 points after the champion really considered challenging him good? ;)

To be fair he had alot of Mechanical probs. :rolleyes: I think it will be a challenge for Seabass to adjust but not a total shock.

That might be the case, but he was also out-qualified with 12 to 2 and in fastest race laps by 11 to 3.

True, true. I hope he does better this year (Doornbos).

Seabass should be a mid-packer.

Since I dont have a favorite driver in F1, Im wondering if I should pick a driver and pull for him during this next season.

If I do, Im leaning towards Sebastien Bourdais or Lewis Hamilton.

The flying Finn Kimi Raikkonen!!

You'll fall into a favorite at some point. Pulling for someone will help you follow the sport and learn it faster. I did the same (sorta) with Champ Car. Doornbos was an F1 driver with Minardi so I root for him in Champ. :thumbsup:

The reason I was thinking Sebastien was due to him being from champcar and new to the series. The reason for Hamilton is because he is who I heard about the most last season and is young and seems to be a darn good driver.


Who is your favorite driver by the way EIR ??
