A quite brilliant article, glad it got linked to on F1Fanatic. Buemi id like to see get a drive as he's young. Sato though a good tester and driver for a poor team (Super Aguri) shudn't be anywhere near the pecking order for a race seat. It was only due to Vettel's extra-ordinary driving that the STR was above the Red Bull in the standings. Bourdais did a good job for a rookie and came good as the season went on, if it wasn't for bad luck on the last lap at Spa he cud've finished 3rd/4th and that cud've meant a podium with Lewis's penalty being done. He was unlucky at Monza for stalling the car for w/eva reason, i simply dont believe it was his fault. And at Fuji he was unlucky to be stripped of 3 DERSERVED points for his part in the Massa incident, that along with Lewis/Kimi at Spa was the most scandalous decision of the year. Bourdais if it wern't for the above that iv mentioned as well as his engine going from a gr8 4th position in Melboure (which he was in due to keeping the car on the track whilst mayhem was going on ahead of him) wud've had alot more than 4 points and his place wud already be assured. I hope he's kept on as he does not belong to the group of drivers like Da Matta, Zanardi for instance who flopped in F1 as Bourdais is better than both of them. The longer the decision looms i fear for Bourdais, hopefully he'll get the gig with Buemi who at 20 is worth a risk. If it dosn't work out for him innitialy then Sato can come in and Buemi will then go back to testing and get to grips with things b4 coming back 1yr down the line. Once again a fantastic artice!
