Toro Rosso confirm Bourdais
Scuderia Toro Rosso have confirmed three-time Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais will race for the team in 2008.
The Frenchman will join German Sebastian Vettel at the Italian squad next season.
"It has been a long time coming, but here we are," said Bourdais. "I would like to thank everyone at Red Bull for believing in me and giving me this long-awaited opportunity to race in Formula One.
"I must also thank Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing for letting me pursue my dream and allowing me to test for Scuderia Toro Rosso a few times this year."
The 28-year-old Frenchman will be free to join the team after the final round of this year's Champ Car Series on 2 December.Riccardo Patrese - 256GPs 1977-1993

Good to see Seb finally got his chance in F1, best of luck to him.
With all the mess at STR for the past few weeks at least its a good thing to see that they sorted their 2008 line-up so early, unlike last year when they waited until the end of February to confirm drivers.I got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time...

What a poor choice in Bourdois i believe. How dare they get rid of Liuzzi who is trying his best in an absolute S**T car. STR never seem to develop the car and now they hire a champion from the ChampCar series jsut so they can ruin another career like they did with Speed and now Liuzzi. I for one will now never support STR. Gerhard Burger should leave the team due to all the crap decisions he has made.
WelshLegendCome on Subaru, sort it out!!!!!

Good for Bourdais but I don't think Liuzzi deserved the door, if I remember well : 8 consecutive retirement due to mechanic problems for him this year...

Zanardi had a crap car in 99, Andretti had a pretty bad car when at McClaren. Montoya and JV both did good jobs I think. Good luck SB, good to see afrench driver in the field for the french GP. Feel sorry for Tonio, but this is formula one we are talking about, where nothing is often fair. Maybe he has something else already lined up. Who knows, we will all know in time....
Indy cars says bye to Sky. Yeah baby.......
