I'm strongly doubting, though, that Bourdais is going to go to STR next year, having seen what happened recently and knowing what he'll be able to achieve (or, rather, not achieve). It would be a bad career move.

I don't see it as a bad career move. Champ Car is a total joke in the eyes of F1 bosses right now. He needs to get out of there at the first opportunity. At the moment he's in danger of being forever remembered as the guy that dominated Champ Car once all the money and talent left.

He absolutely has to take this risk because no-one in F1 outside of Berger takes him even remotely seriously. If he's that good he will shine. You can't build a car bad enough under the current regulations to completely mask a guy's potential.

He's done all he can ever do in the US. He could win the next 10 Champ Car titles and it still wouldn't make the front half of the F1 grid look at him any more. He might as well take a gamble that gets him closer to his ultimate goal.

Indeed. If I'm not mistaken, he spun off while chasing Wurz's Benetton. Sarrazin is definitely a driver I would have liked to see in F1 more time...

If Vettel can start working in Toro Rosso as he has recently commented about what he reconks is the best way to have a F1 career, then I think he will do very well. He'll start slowly but he will only go up from this point.

He must have one thing in mind now, he must keep the car inside the tarmac. He must try not to spin out. The more time he spends in the track the more experience he will get.

Impressing in a poor car can be done if you are a superb talent and Alonso was just that at Minardi in 2001. His race performances that year were frightingly good, on a regular basis. Regarding outqualifying Villeneuve at Indy, one should note that JV was a second slower than teammate Panis, hence its obvious (as was said) that JV was driving a car that was stuffed (as JHope mentioned). Not that it takes away from Alonso who was on superb form but I rate some of his race performances that year far ahead of that one qualy session.

He proved he could go lap after lap at an extreme pace, that's what stood him out for me in that Minardi.

Bourdais has to go to STR and try to impress in F1 if he wants his career to forward. His age, the time, an opportunity, and support within the F1 circus (Berger), have come together and he has his shot. He must grab it or his career will take an entirely different twist. A successful career, no doubt. But without the F1 ticket punched.

I might've forgotten all about it, but I think this is the first time I've been made aware of Villeneuve's probs on Indy '01.
I brought Ralf Schumacher and Kingfisher into this discussion, but in the latest F1Racing it says that Kingfisher's deal with Toyota is for three years. I wonder who set out the rumour of Schumacher possibly being able to take Kingfisher with him to another team then!

Of course Bourdais should try all he can to get a ride in F1, more or less regardless of how competitive the team he ends up with might be. If he trounces his team-mate, depending on who that is, he'll move up the ladder.

I think Vettel' entry to TR could be seen as opportunity which is knife edge wide. The life with teams like that could be a career killer. Hamilton was lucky, but that's the way to go. Rake up 1000 hrs of testing before you take a race, and then you show up as a hero.

No he did not. He looked absolutely amazing, which is what is wrong with both Speed and Liuzzi.

All decission makers in and around F1 know and understand that the Toro Rosso team is unable to field a car capable of contending for points on merit, so both Liuzzi and Speed need to show 'specialness' considering their tools at hand.

And this is where they have both failed miserably throughout their F1 tenure.

Alonso in a Minardo scored zero points, but that mean nothing Minardi basically never scored any points. But he qualified a Minardi 17th at Indianapolis, outqualifying a Honda engined former WDC, and holding the Renault of Fisichella at bay for several laps, Fisichella incensed as he thought he had to be lapping the Minardi.

This season who is the better driver Rosberg or Wurz? If you look at points, obviously Wurz, but if you pay attention Rosberg is WAAAAYYYY ahead of Wurz, and had it not been for Hamilton Rosberg would be the revelation of the 2007 season.

Don't think that points is the full story, try to actually pay attention to what happens over a full raceweekend.

They both run near the top 10 and put their car in the top 10 and even top 5 of practice sessions.

If this is not special then bloody hell !!!!

Alonso was usually within the back few rows and did not have another serious young gun challenger in equal machinery to claw and fight* as the Minardi Marques/Yoong times ensured good parts to be fitted to the car of the charger unlike Minardi's later Verstappen/Wilsons times when things were more even.

*Unlike the Speed/Liuzzi scenario!

The 2001 Minardi had reasonable handling but no horsepower, but the 2002 Minardi had reasonable horsepower but no handling.... It's a puzzler.

Alonso and Webbers performances were decent but Speed and Liuzzi were doing just as well racing the tough midfield teams like multiple world champions Williams plus works squads like Honda.. a much more fair and even battles as all teams have several $100 m motor-cars but the STR has much less resources, data and infrastructure to run their car - very much a hand tied behind their back yes?!

Liuzzi's and Speed's efforts are not near Alonso's and Webber's performances while at Minardi.
With Webber and Alonso, you often felt they did more than they "should" have with the car they had, and in addition they were praised left, right and centre.
Speed and Liuzzi makes too many mistakes, somehow manages to post slower laptimes in qualifying than they did in free practice (everyone else improves by a few tenths - this is justified critisism that Tost and Berger has served them), and doens't get much praise heaped upon them.
...and I'm not just thinking about comments from their own team - Alonso and Webber got recognition from everywhere. There's really no comparison.
-and for clarification, I'm among those who rate Liuzzi's speed as quite good, but he seldom extracts it.

Surely BMW must have decided to keep Heidfeld on for another year?

He's not going to get any faster/better and could go to Toyota, Renault or Toro Rosso or race in another category like DTM. Multi-year contracts are, in my opinion, realy the wrong way to go. I don't when it started but, I think, for example, Trulli was signed for 5 years. If a team, Toyota in tht instance, wants to get rid of him they have to buy out the last year(s) and all, unnecessarily expensive. Base a contract on performance - whatever the team's perimeters. Speed didn't produce, he whined (publicly), get rid of him. Liuzzi doesn't perform, get rid of him. Why hamstring yourself with a multi-year contract? What, Trulli wouldn't have signed with Toyota if he was on a one year? Of course he would have. Heidfeld/Kubica and Bourdais/Vettel lineups wouldn't be bad for next year although, like I said, Heidfeld should be shown the door (along with Schumacher, Trulli, Coulthard, Barrichello and Fisichella - none of whom is going to get any quicker).

Time for a reality check?

Heidfeld is clearly the best of the rest right now.

I don't think so. I think this is a way for BMW to let Vettel gain driving plus racing experience before he'll races for them. BMW has two decent drivers at the moment and it's obvious in light of this Vettel deal with Toro Rosso that Heidfelt will remain at BMW for at least another year. It's really nice to see at least one of the Red Bull teams to sign a deal with promising young rising star finally. :up:

No doubt BMW is the winner. SV gets experience, he remembers who helped him out. IF he impresses he's invited back by BMW.Not a dissimilar situation to what Heidfeld was in with McLaren. In the end SV is sort of the master of where he ship sails. At least this way he doesn't become the next Jos Verstappan.

Yes, I agree. I expect Vettel to show something during 2008 and BMW will then sign him for 2009. I guess Heidfeld will move to Red Bull at that point, taking over from DC

...at this point DC will literally hoist Allen from the ITV commentary booth and take his place next to Brundle!

But even if you're confident, why jump the gun. It's unlikely anyone is actually going to "steal" him for 08 so why not take the chance to try before you buy.

I can only assume a condition of BMW letting go was a full year contract.

I also remember Tora Takagi in a weak Tyrrel-Ford qualifying 13th in his debut (hehe, though he later spun off in the first lap)...

I don't think anyone questions that Tora could be very very quick. What he couldn't was do it as consistently as Alonso did in 2001, or put together a race like Japan.

I suspect Theissen wouldn't release Vettel for just half a season: we've seen how Kovalainen struggled in the first half in the Renault, despite testing for a year with the team. Vettel would be thrown in to a new car in a new team with no testing and given only 1/2 a season. This way BMW ensure Vettel is given a proper chance to show his worth.

Indeed, and another seriously impressive effort in the second as well. Matching Liuzzi right from the off far exceeded my expectations.
Very, very well done! His potential is good, and unless Liuzzi has just got problems finding a good set-up, signs are that Vettel is the quicker of the two.

Not bad at all for Vettel, but it's not exactly like he's been short on F1 seat time this year (like, say, Winkelhock and Yamamoto).

You're talking about Arrows in 1997...well, that year there were at least two less competitive teams: Old-spec-Ford powered Tyrrell and Hart-powered Minardi. And rookie team Stewart did not show much better than Walkinshaw's team. This season, STR and Spyker are, in the first place, the only teams running old-spec engines. And for what we've seen, the Toro Rosso seems to be only better than the Spyker. In comparative terms with the rest of the field in both seasons, and taking in account the differences in general reliability (these days, F1 cars are, in general, more reliable than 10 years ago. This might seem like an advantage, but for small teams the only chances to score points in the past was sometimes survive in a race with a high level of DNFs. As it is rarer these days, small teams seem to have less chances of scoring points and "showing off" with impressive results), I would say that it was more likely to stand out with an Arrows Yamaha in 1997 than with a Toro Rosso in 2007.

I have absolutely nothing against Sebastien Vettel. Whenever you are given the opportunity
you have to take it. Good for him.
But clearly, the STR is a pretty poor car, and I doubt any driver would do very well in it.
I think part of the problem that Speed and Liuzzi (dead man walking...) have had, is that they
were pushing the damned thing as far as possible, and as a result, were making mistakes.
We really don't know how good (or how mediocre) Speed and Liuzzi are, because they have never been
in a good car. In fact, they've really never been in an average car.....

For example: We all know that Button and Barrichello are both accomplished professional drivers.
Yet, if all we had to go on, was their performance in 2007, we might (erroneously) conclude that they
were both tossers.

So given this, I hope that Speed and Liuzzi both get another shot at F1 after 2007.
Liuzzi will be let go for certain, and that's probably the best thing for him. If he can look good
alongside Vettel for the remainder of 2007, maybe he'll get a decent test seat somewhere with a
chance to race again. As for Speed, his chances may not be too good, but you never know.
The botton line is, the better Liuzzi looks against Vettel, the better chance he (and Speed) would
have of being somewhat vindicated.

That may be so, but I would argue that the Arrows still was farther away from the top than the Toro Rosso is now. Think of the first race of the year, when Hill didn't qualify due to suspension parts being set up wrongly and the car extremely unstable. We haven't seen anything as embarrassing from TR.[/B][/QUOTE]

The botton line is, the better Liuzzi looks against Vettel, the better chance he (and Speed) would

Liuzzi looking good next to Vettel is a completely meaningless estimation of his "abilities" because Vettel is by far the lesser known quantity because he's a rookie who's had 1 race in a good car! It's more important for Vettel to look good next to Liuzzi than for Liuzzi to look good next to Vettel, because Liuzzi has had 2 years to show his worth relative to the strength of the car, which is what engineers up and down the pitlane actually see and take into account (unlike posters here, quite honestly). They know the STR is junk, so that factors in quite heavily.

The only real thing you can use to determine Vettel's F1 capabilities is his single previous race in a completely different (entirely better) car, which basically means nothing. Driving in previous categories helps, but is no means a definite marker, because in that regard Liuzzi (and countless others) have been much more successful than Vettel!

The point is, though, that the next few races will show that it's the car, not the driver...but everyone outside of STR and the media understand that.

It seems rather unlikely but teamboss Trevor Carlin says that Vettel might be driving the coming races in the World Series by Renault. ''At the moment I don't know yet. It depends on a conjoined decision from BMW Sauber and Red Bull. I think that at the beginning of next week I will already have an answer, if Sebastian doesn't return to the World Series by Renault, we will drive with another driver from Red Bull.''
