Buemi in at STR

[MDS]

Apparently Sebastien Buemi is official at STR, no word on Sebastien Bourdais. I think he'll quietly get his contract removed after this weekend's event?

I hope Bourdais stays, you just can't judge a driver by his first year, in a new team, on all new tracks. Bourdais is finally starting to show promise in the STR and they will throw it away. STR really needs to give him one more year to see if he is a consistent driver. I just don't know if STR was expecting Vettel to be that good

If Bourdais gets kicked out for a driver of Sato's calibre I will be p!ssed.

Well, I wouldn't read that actual and assume its 100% garantueed. I'm going to wait for ITV or Autosport to pronounce it before I take it too seriously.

But yes, if Bourdais doesn't get a second year in F1, I will be hugely disappointed.

Is this reincarnation thread? :eek:

I hope that Bourdais will stay. He is a very good driver.

More and more in Formula 1 these days, drivers get less and less time to "bed in" and develop their careers. Team owners are impatient, and are seeking instant success. Bourdais appears to be a victim of this trend.

same here - wanna see bourdais not sato. sato needs to stick to doing errands for honda, maybe race at irl or something. :)

Sometime back, Red bull let it be known that they were interested in Sato's market penetration ability in Japan.....driving ability was not mentoined
