Even so, I can't see a huge team like Toyota being interested in Bourdais. Maybe if both Heiki and Fisi continue to be mediocre and suck, Flav will sack both and put in Nelson jr and Bourdais, if he signs his career away with him! The only reason I think Seabass could have a chance a Renault, is because he's french, and because Flav tried to sign him before. Otherwise all he can hope is to replace Speed or Liuzzi at STR and possibly DC at RBR. Although DC put in an excellent drive at Bahrain. If he puts on performances like that the rest of the season, he might be kept another year.

^ I think Torro Rosso is really interested in Bourdais.

I read this article about Flavio wanted F1 to have GP2 style reverse grid. I think he somewhat does have a point. I know some of you don't like reverse grid. I also agree that the race is too long. It should be minimum 45 minutes.

This is another article but by Piquet, he said Massa has the potential over Kimi and looking over the last two qualification round in Malaysia and Bahrain, he does seem to be more faster than Kimi. I starting to get conviced of Massa although he was very funny during Malaysia trying to overtake Lewis. I just wondered whether Kimi is really that fast or is not adapt to Ferrari yet?

So i'm not going to use the lol emoticon anymore. You mean person.
That wouldn't work because teams will be sandbagging during qualifying. Qualifying woln't be exciting anymore.
Massa is brazilian, and so is Piquet. Do you really expect Piquet to talk up Raikkonen over Massa? That will never happen. Massa is quick when he doesn't have to pass someone or if it isn't raining, as he should be because he has one of the two best cars on the grid. Last year I remember a race where it was pouring, and the bridgestone tires were crap. Michael was racing up front, while Massa was in the back racing Ralf and dodging Sato. Massa doesn't impress me, especially after him being embarassed by a rookie at Malaysia.

Massa is a great number two but he is not a good racer.

This might add to the attraction for going to Renault for Bourdais, or maybe he'll go to Honda because Button has been very annoying lately.

With regards to Honda. They have a crap car. Yes I admit that, but look at the drivers.
Rubens is nearing the end of his career and is putting on a brave face and fighting the car and doing ok. Jenson has a long term contract and is not doing well and publicly slamming the team's car.
Contracts can be broken. I feel that Jenson should try and do what Rubens is doing and fight the car, as the drivers cant do anything to fix the problems, thats the teams job.
Jenson has been annoying lately, and if he is replaced, it wont be by Bourdais, it will be by Anthony Davidson.

You've gotten confused, I have been talking about Prodrive and Bourdais, I didn't mention Toyota and Bourdais...
But it looks like STR are very interested in signing him.
Oh well then the Toyota comment is directed to whoever mentioned it.
Prodrive probably woln't take him either. So let's keep our fingers crossed for STR or RBR next year.

That was me saying that Toyota could spring a suprise and pick up Bourdais. Was just a thought I had, based on Toyota wanting a new driver.

Actually, I think Bourdais will enter a team with a Ferrari engine i.e. Ferrari, STR or Spyker, due to the fact that his manager is Nicolas Todt.
Is he really? Wow I didn't know that. That's how Massa got his seat at Ferrari, same manager. Let's see though, he definately woln't get a seat at Ferrari. Spyker may fire Albers and he could get a seat there. Spyker is one of those teams that take paying drivers though. STR it is! lol

de la Rosa testing the new wing. It might look crap but at least it's not as ugly as those stalks BMW had last year.

Glad someone else likes it, I think its great.
It's a good idea but it looks crap, like it doesn't really belong to the car.

See this is why I don't like Spyker. Whilst all the other teams are testing, the team that needs to test the most because they are at the back of the grid and are only going to slip further away are focussing too much on other things!!
Spyker to open sports bar in Holland
01 May 2007
The Spyker team have signed an agreement with Dutch brewers Heineken to launch the Netherlands' first-ever Formula One-themed sports bar. As part of the deal, Heineken will also become the team?s official beer supplier for trackside events.
The exact location and opening date of the bar will not be announced until July, but the venue will carry both Spyker?s and Heineken?s branding, and encourage customers to enjoy alcohol in a responsible fashion.
?This Formula One sports bar fits with our ambitions of being the most innovative brewer,? said Herwin van den Berg, Marketing Director of Heineken Nederland. ?Furthermore, the co-operation with Spyker gives us access to the Formula One experience with millions of international fans.?
------------
Come on Spyker, start acting like an F1 team or give up your spot to someone who should be there, like Paul Stoddart again.
