I remember Wilson being praised as a "fantastic starter" in F1. And he really was, in a Minardi he out-started 2 or 3 rows, and only lost the positions due to his lame car. Webber beat him in a Jaguar, but Wilson only got 3 or 4 attempts and it was his first season. I'm sure he'd beat Webber by now.
Back to toppic: ANYTHING Liuzzi or Speed accomplished thus far, Bourdais could do with one hand on the wheel and the other one in his nose. Period.

what propper chance? Jaguar did everything they could to accomodate him. He just didn't perform.
Anyway this is old...
Many people in the paddock (i.e. FW) don't rate Champcar highly, and Bourdais has made it clear he doesn't want to start with a backmarker or a midfield team. He wants to be in F1, but only in a top team. Well tough luck, not many people get the chance to start in a top team, most (Alonso, Kimi, Massa) start either in midfield or with a backmarker. Bourdais doesn't want to accept this, and hence he has been left out of F1. His choice really...Iceman: Adjective 1)Rapid, swift 2)Nickname of Kimi-Matias Räikkönen, a legendary Formula 1 driver

He has the talent and the mindset to succeed in F1, but this would be lost at the back of the grid. If he got a Red Bull or Renault drive (maybe Flav will beg him to come over with the results so far this year?) he might have the ability to show his skills.
