    F1 ace Bourdais 'sacked by text' (this is just wrong)

    he was never an ace

    http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsAr...llCars/242537/
    Former Scuderia Torro Rosso driver Sebastien Bourdais has accused his former employers of sacking him by text message.
    The 30-year-old Frenchman was fired last month, and replaced for the Hungarian Grand Prix by Spanish teenager Jaime Alguersuari.
    VERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’

    Its called technology - txt, email who cares - he should have resigned with the performances he put in.

    F1 ace ??????? Is there another F1 series out there where he blitzed the field every race ? How about F1 backmarker/lap traffic

    Get on with it Bourdais
    Go the ALL BLACKS !

    Perhaps, the boss (Dietrich Mateschitz) could not bring himself to call Bourdais and speak verbally for the lay-off

    It would have been a very wet phone call..
    I think the proper termination has been taken by the personnel manager. Dietrich's text message is more a word of compliment to bid farewell to Bourdais.

    Instead of premium wet phone call, you can get it free in chat room...

    lol, UR like, so ystrdy omg!, r u4 rl? srsly, C-ya.

    Never been a fan and never felt that he ever faced a full field of good drivers or machinery during his years with NH in Champcar. I would however like to see him come to Indycars just to see if he could duplicate his success in Champcar which I seriously doubt he would.

    He knew going in he was in a no win situation at STR and would never see the pointy end of the grid on a regular basis in their car. Now he can say he was an F1 driver. Get over it and find a series that pays your bills and gives you some personal satisfaction and a chance to win. and please , save us the I"m looking at NASCAR line. No more Jaques Girards, please.

    I hope he at least assured his children will live a comfortable life with the redbull money he was paid.
    HINCHTOWN!!
