Only 27, still plenty of time to win 4 champs.

Bourdais being French, that would be weird :).

If Bourdais does an acceptable job in testing, could we see a driver swap? Scott Speed to Newman Haas and Bourdais to STR?
Champ Car is fundamentally a US series, and I'm sure the sponsor McDonald's would love to see a yank driver win the title in their car.

Even though 2007 is yet to come I'm very keen to see 2008 with the possibility of Bourdais.. and Prodrive entering the scene.

Erm, there was only one american driver in champ car last year, A.J. Almendinger, and he's leaving for NASCAR in '07.

Its wierd actually for an almost entirely North American based series to have no American drivers. But, if your american and a good driver, all the $$$ is in nascar and that's where they go :/

It's too bad Seb doesn't get any better opportunities than Red Bull. I think if he was in a top team that he would dominate. He's smooth, extremely fast, a quick learner, consistant and dares to take risks when he needs too.
A year with Red Bull will just be another wasted year of raw talent.
Advise for Renault, drop Fisi or Ferrari, drop Massa (one aggressive driver is enough)

Are you mad? drop Massa? don't be ridiculous, Fellipe really earned that Ferrari drive and you can never have enough driving talent on a team.

There are rumours that STR are trying to get Bourdais out of his contract because they were impressed with his drive... But I dimissed that rumour becaue Berger probably wants a pay driver if anything.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Massa is overrated. He's like Barrichello, nice and consistant, get's the job done but not brilliant (made another nice Brazilian servant for Shuey though)
Bourdais however won't settle for doing the best that he can, he always wants to do better and that's what it takes to become a multiple world champion.
It's too late now for Bourdais as i see he is driving for Peugot in Lemans this year with JV.
