The tale of one of the most successful names in American racing history, being given a long overdue break into F1, and subsequently struggling, is as regularly repeated as Red Bull hiring an multi-time champion outsider to their sister outfit, and watching them flounder too. So when you combine those two tales together? Oh boy. Welcome to the ballad of Sebastien Bourdais. A 4-time ChampCar champion stateside. An F1 career without even a smidgen of that same success.
Just what caused the Toro Rosso turmoils of one Sebastien Bourdais? Rotten reliability? Dodgy driving? Or was it the worst bout of bad luck and misfortune that a budding F1 driver has ever endured? Today, we look to answer just that.
Plus this time it takes us a whole 4 minutes and 18 seconds to use a Simpsons clip, which is almost certainly a new record.
