Default Bourdais Confirmed for '09

Man... this took forever...Even though he was definitely overshadowed by Vettel, I thought he did a good job last year..

Good to see him back in '09...with of course, another Sebastien

If he can't even beat Buemi on a consistent basis, he's done.

i'm glad he's back. i really didn't think they gave him a fair enough shot at it to consider getting rid of him after only one year. hopefully he can impress a bit this year.

hopefully he can complete a lap this year before the 5th race.
as they say if he didn't have bad luck in those first 4 races he wouldn't have had any luck at all.

the new slick tires will help bourdais driving style.

don't think buemi will be faster than bourdais.

this moves surprises me.. so far i haven't heard how seabass attained his drive ? merit or money ? I'm assuming he found some financial sponsor to hand over to the team ? i wonder what were the results of the shootout between buemi, sato and himself ?

regardless, a mobile chicane he will continue to be, slicks or no slicks..
