Pretty good time from Bourdais given that this is his first time in F1.

The tests in Jerez seem to indicate that the new teams on Bridgestone tyres are pretty much on par with the older teams.

He has stated that he will be in Champcars next year

Correct, Julian, but reports are that there is an "out" clause in SeaBass's contract with Newman-Haas if the right opportunity were to arise; right now, I don't think Bourdais'll switch. 2008, though, is another story......

It is a known fact that Bourdais badly wants to race in F1. He's bound by a contract for 2007. However given his performance he could very well land a race seat in one of the lesser teams, come 2008. Spyker or Toro Rosso come to mind. If they survive 2007 that is

I guess there are certain things that one should not be attempting in a hammock...
