Default Bourdais Out?

I'd hate to see him go, but, is the writing on the wall? He says he will be in Hungary, but....

Looks like he'll be out. I really like Bourdais. Guess F1 just wasn't a good fit for him. Move on to Le Mans full time?

LeMans isn't a bad option.. ALMS would be a good fit for him as well.. I wonder if that would mean a seat with the Pueugot team again..

Rumour has it that Indy is another option...Someone this weekend was telling me that if the ALMS P1 class doesn't gain some competition, some of those teams will jump ship and head to Indy

He'll probably wanna race in DTM as it will be closer to home

Too bad he did not find success in F1.

I can see him replacing Dornboos at NHL or take Rahal's seat if he goes to AGR when Danica jumps to Ganassi.

Dornboos is paying for his seat so I doubt he'll take it over...

i hope he comes back to Indy, I think he'd make great competition for Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti

I would like to see him come back to IRL as well. He definitely has the ability to win...just needs the right seat
