Jonathan Noble: Online
Not a lot has gone right for Sebastien Bourdais this year, but our grand prix editor wonders whether he's managed to show enough of his true ability to earn another chance next season despite his shortage of points
Mark Webber often remarks that the only thing that matters in sport is the points on the scoreboard. But while that may be a reality for the teams and drivers battling it out at the head of the field, further down the order the lines between potential and reality can get blurred at times.
Take Sebastien Bourdais for example. If you took a cold hard look at his season, you could easily come to the conclusion that his move to Formula One has been a big disaster. He has just four points to his name - a whopping 26 points less than high-flying teammate Sebastian Vettel.
