Bourdais failure in F1 is the most evident demonstration that the skill level needed to be a champ in indycar ils far below the one needed to be simply an average pilot in F1, and that the level in F1 is the highest requested among all racing car disciplines.. Remember how Nigel Mansell overwhelmed the indycar championship on his first year after being sacred F1 champion.. Rookie of the year and champion at the same time when he never had sat in an indycar before..
I still don´t understand why a four times champ car champion accepted a contract with one of the worst teams of the grid. I know that the team became one of the best in the last part of the season, but in the begining the performance was it's weakness
@poska69 Jaques Villeneuve came from CART and then joined WILLIAMS in 1996? He got too much luck with that! Too bad Bourdais left the sport, I hoped he could step up and be in the top 10!
@Marcus666Sund Villeneuve is the only example of and indy/cart pilot succeding in F1 in history.. All the pilots that tried to go from indy to F1 had few results..Andretti, Montoya and so on never had great successes in F1.. but F1 champions won many cart/indy championships : Fittipaldi, Mansell, and even 'end of grid' F1 pilots like Alex Zanardi or Gil de Ferran, Danny sullivan, Teo Fabi etc..were entited in indy/champ as they never even won a single race in F1..
@TifosiAlonso We're not speaking of the same Andretti, I spoke about Michael, not Mario.. Of course Mario was a great champion, but his son was kinda lamer in F1 despite his successes in US series.. :)
@poska69 You have to understand that for non-US drivers, F1 is the holy grail.. Being in F1 is the ultimate goal of every pilot born outside USA, even in an and of grid team, even being a paying pilot.. Most of the professional track drivers-to-be become drivers with tho only goal to reach F1 and become famous.. Fangio, Schumacher, Lauda, Prost, Mansell, Villeneuve, are kinda gods for them.. Bourdais went to cart only because he could get not a seat in F1 at the right moment..
@wlud Following : F1 is not well known in the USA mostly because US people live in a circular world where whatever is not American is non-existent,alien or despicable..despite the fact the whole USA represents barely 20% of mankind..Which is quite funny is that most of the US most famous sports are absolutely unknow to 80% of the mankind..and of course mechanical US sports are included in this percentage.. (When I watch US TV series, I sometimes wonder if we live on the same planet :) )
@wlud Following : Don't see any anti-americanism in my words, there is none. I am usually fond of USA, I only describe a strange (to my eyes al least..) state of fact.. :)
