Bourdais is a very good driver, maybe too good for CCWS (I am not bashing CCWS here). But with all respect to his incredible records, some of the top-drivers in the USA are in the rival IRL series, so I don't know whether Bourdais would have been that successful in a unified Formula, or would have been great, but not that dominant.
But really it is better to be record=-breaker in CCWS than 20th in F1 (which he will be if he is in STR), so I think that he'll stay in the USA.Formula 1

I think he and Castroneves should do very well in F1.

I definitely think Bourdais should be in F1 but i'd hate to see him leave Champ Car. I'm not quite sure why he hasn't been in F1 the past couple of years, lack of money?
/French Connection.....awesome movie.

I too would love to see Bourdais drive in F1 even for a team that's mid-field at best, it's still a drive in F1

Hhmmmm... SeeBass should have been in Formula 1 a couple of years ago... with Renault !!!
: Flavio never forgave Bourdais when SB refused Flavio's offer of indentured servitude !!!
IMO... SeeBass would have been a contender for WDC... now age is against him. He has a good life in Champ Car and is settled in Florida... why change?

Should he be in F1? Well, it's up to team principals to decide.
He definetely has the talent and he might even be among the top drivers, but you can never say for sure until he has finally driven some races in F1 - Zanardi was also expected to do miracles after his back-to-back CART-titles and look, what happened...
One of the main problems for Bourdais probably is that the reputation of Champ Car has clearly fallen after 2001-2002, when several CART drivers and teams joined IRL. 2002 Champion da Matta is continually the last driver, who has come to F1 from a North America series. Also new competitive series GP2 instead of the previous F3000 (which also started losing its spark in the last seasons) has reduced the attention given for Champ Car.
