Unpredictability the only certainty, says Bourdais
10 March 2009Sebastien Bourdais is expecting a few tears of grief as well as those of happiness this year as Formula One looks towards its most unpredictable season of recent times. The Frenchman, about to begin his all-important second season in the sport, is sure that none of the teams can rest assured that they have done enough until the first race is over.

"It's always kind of true that when you change regulations, everybody has their philosophy about designing cars," the four-time Champcar champion explained. "Some philosophies are not so right, and some are completely wrong. These days, designers and aerodynamicists seem to know what they have to do better than they did in the past."
The Frenchman drove Toro Rosso's new STR4 for the first time in Italy last week, and is at the reigns in Barcelona this week until handing over to Swiss team-mate Sebastien Buemi on Wednesday. After setting the fifth fastest time on Monday, Bourdais commented: "It's an encouraging start, but we definitely have a lot of things to try and balance adjustments we want to do, so it's going to be quite a hectic session for the whole team."
