Bourdais has only scored six points from the 27 grands prix for Toro Roso.

But he said: "I consider that Toro Rosso has breached contractual duties. Nothing in my behaviour would legitimise a decision to terminate.

"I have instructed my lawyers to review the situation including the possibility of issuing legal proceedings."

Bourdais' place in the Hungarian Grand Prix on 26 July is expected to go to Spain's Jaime Alguersuari, who, at 19, would become the youngest ever Formula One driver.

 

I love F1

Manufacturer says, "it can't be the car, must be the driver"
Driver says, "the car's really shit, it can't be me I USED TO BE WORLD CHAMPION!"

 

He was shit compared to Vettel, and now he's shit compared to a rookie. He is in denial.

 

He may well be in denial, but that doesn't preclude him having a decent claim for breach of contract unless the contract gives TR the right to terminate early.

It's like football where managers are sacked - it almost invariably requires the remainder of the contract to be paid off, even if the manager has just steered the club to relegation.

 

Indeed. He's just the latest in the line of "successful in America" drivers who's failed to make an impact in F1. Remember how embaressingly bad Zinardi was for Williams when he made his big F1 comeback? (Which is what gave Button his break IIRC).

 

does anyone gaf?

 

Bourdais does, presumably!

 

Nope, haven't like Bourdais since his hissy fit at RoC a couple of years ago.

 

undoubtedly

but I supsect people are about as interested in him and his problems

as my Mum and where she gets her rockery stones

 

Where does she get her rockery stones ?
