Playing a waiting game: Exclusive interview with Sebastien Bourdais
Sebastien Bourdais' agonising wait to find out whether he still has a job with Scuderia Toro Rosso goes on, and on, but the Frenchman is determined to wait it out because he knows he has a lot to offer the team in 2009, should they choose to give him a second chance
Like Rubens Barrichello at Honda, Sebastien Bourdais is enduring a long wait while Scuderia Toro Rosso make up their mind about whether he is staying with them in 2008.
There is a difference in the two cases, however. At Toro Rosso, the departure of Sebastian Vettel means there is some sense in maintaining continuity with at least one driver, especially going into a season of complex rules changes. And while Rubens is approaching the end of his career, Bourdais has just finished his first year, and there's a case for giving him a second in order to allow him to take advantage of everything he's learned.
