Bourdais qualifies in fifth at Sebring

Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Sébastien Bourdais will be enjoying the 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race this weekend, in which the Frenchman's squad has qualified in fifth position for tomorrow's race.

Bourdais' single qualifying lap saw him secure a satisfactory lap time of 1.45.559 before returning to the pits. "There was no point in staying out any longer," he explained.

"The car is going well and I was able to push hard at once to set a time straight away. Franck Montagny will start with our car and he will benefit from tyres that have barely been scrubbed."
