Looking through FORIX, comparing Bourdais and Buemi's performance has been strange. Generally, Buemi's race pace was better earlier in the season, but in the last few races Bourdais seems to have got the better of him. Also, Bourdais and Buemi have finished above one another more or less the same number of times, but this is disappointing from Buemi's perspective, as he's been the better qualifier of the two. So, neither of them have really done that well, and Buemi is certainly not beating his team mate per se; if Bourdais improves his qualifying - even slightly - he could put Buemi in the shade.

I agree, both of them havent been that impressive. I think if Bourdais keeps on performing like he did at Turkey, he'll be out of F1 before the seasons end.

Onto a better level?
Too good for F1

No back to America for the Indycar series.

Pantano is pretty talented, i think we will see him return sooner or later

Pantano isn't Formula One material. He's been in the GP2 series for years, so he's basically learned how to drive the cars and go for the title. Younger drivers new to GP2 don't have this experience, and they still look better prospects. Bruno Senna is not quite the complete package at the moment, but he would have won the title, if it weren't for some bad luck.

2 for that, but I think there's a point to stop? I think Senna won't reach F1 just yet, maybe more chances in Indy to be honest?

Pantano wont be back

Mhm. Of course, the real star of that season was Di Grassi in my opinion. I can't see him not having become champion if he had competed in the entire season.

nah if he practicaly won Gp2 in his 1st year after very little racing experience he has natural talent i think we'll see him in F1 sooner rather than later.

Pantano

Does anyone here actually know what Pantano is doing this year.... He's racing Renault Megane's in some cup series.

I remember watching GP2 last year. Pantano just seemed to move up the order constantly, because the cars in front either crashed or broke down. Fair enough, he was quick at times. But really, it's not that he's too old. Its the fact that when a team hires a driver of his age, they expect them to bring a wealth of experience. Not a rookie. He just doesn't have potenial. Senna on the other hand has the potential to learn and go even quicker.

And the next step on the ladder? The Renault Clio Cup BTCC support races.
