Sebastien Bourdais' manager admits the French racer is not yet guaranteed a future on the F1 grid beyond 2008.

Nicolas Todt, who also handles the career of title contender Felipe Massa, told the French language RMC that he is seeking to have the 29-year-old's contract extended to include next year.

"In F1, whether it is your first or your tenth year, you always have something to prove and you are always judged on your most recent races," Todt, the son of former Ferrari boss Jean Todt, said.


"Right now, Sebastien's future in F1 is not yet assured, but I have a good feeling that he can stay at Toro Rosso," he added.

Valencia's new Formula One street circuit failed to deliver much excitement during the European Grand Prix on Sunday, the press declared.

"Ho-hum in Valencia," the International Herald Tribune headlined, panning the processional race on the streets of the Spanish port city.

Even the Spanish media did not disagree.

"A boring track," the sports daily Marca admitted, "with hardly any possibilities for overtaking."

"It was a procession, during which nothing happened, except for that which should not have happened: Alonso retiring," El Mundo Deportivo added.

All the expectation of several Safety Car periods never materialised, and podium-getters Felipe Massa, Lewis Hamilton and Robert Kubica finished in the positions they qualified without ever challenging one another.

"It was a Grand Prix with much glamour but no Safety Car," the newspaper lamented.

"The most exciting place was the pitlane," El Mundo said, referring to the incidents involving Ferrari.

"A boring race," Spain's Diario Sport echoed. "At this venue, pole position is crucial."

BMW Sauber test driver Christian Klien commented: "I was actually surprised that it was a relatively boring race in which nothing really happened."

"In the other categories racing here we saw some really good racing with spectacular overtaking," the Austrian is quoted as saying by the Credit Suisse emagazine.

yeap... Valencia is boring...

yeap... Valencia is boring...

I can't wait until next year -- I think it's going to be real exciting w/ the fundamentals of a race car now resting back in the hands of mechanical grip > aerodynamic grip.

It'll be lovely to see a car follow each other into corners, and accelerate side-by-side into the following corner like days of yore

Scuderia Toro Rosso are to evaluate Sebastien Buemi for a 2009 race seat when he tests for them at Jerez in Spain next month.

The GP2 race winner is a Red Bull junior driver and believed to be the preferred choice for the company's motor sport advisor Helmut Marko.

Team co-owner Gerhard Berger confirmed that the Jerez test would be used to look at Buemi's capabilities - as the team set their sights on a combination of a young driver and a more experienced hand.

"We are going to test him at Jerez," Berger told autosport.com. "It is an evaluation for next year."

Although Bruno Senna has been linked with the team, Berger said there were no plans to give him a similar test – as he suggested that the outfit would likely only take one youngster next year.

"The ideal situation would be a young driver and an experienced one," explained Berger. "We are putting everyone on the list who is free, but there is no clear opinion at this stage. We will take our time."

Current driver Sebastien Bourdais will remain with the team if he can deliver an upturn in form in the remaining races, while former Super Aguri pairing Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson are also believed to be in the frame.

Sato would bring the added attraction of helping Red Bull make a breakthrough in the Japanese soft drinks market, which it has struggled to do well in so far.

can we just call it Red Seb Racing? another freaking Seb?

random note of the day:
so yesterday I was showing an old episode of Top Gear to my girlfriend where Hammond drive 2 laps in the R25, and she asked why it was the "end of an era" with the V10's... so i explained they went to 2.4's to make the cars slower because they were getting fast, which she asked "isn't that the point of racing? to be the fastests?", then i explained about the budget cuts to which she asked "well if they're having to develop all these new parts for the cars since they keep changing the rules, doesn't that just defeat the purpose?"

in short

my girlfriend that doesn't follow any racing sense of budget logic > FIA's budget logic

While I think the fact they said it was to save money was asinine, they do have to slow the cars down periodically or they'll get to the point where they're too fast for humans to drive safely.
