because bourdais actually outraced his team mate quite a few times through the year, especially in the first half.

he also put in some very fast practice and qualifying laps and he was incredibly impressive as Spa, which is regarded by the drivers as a true test of a driver.

the only time piquet outraced his team mate was when a kooky race strategy paid off. once.

and the biggest help he gave his team mate all year was when he crashed in singapore...
