http://formula-1.updatesport.com/news/article/1184663385/formula_one/F1headlines/Bourdais-and-Vettel-at-STR/view.html In my opinion, this would be an excellent driver lineup. An experienced and accomplished driver who finally gets his shot, and a young rookie who might be one of the next super talents. Too bad for Scott Speed, maybe he can take Sebastian's old Newman/Haas seat.
Two rookies for a rookie team, it's not like the cars are going to waste. Also, I believe that Franz has been complaining of both Scott and Tony not getting the most out of the cars. Also, let us not forget the supposed point of the team, to bring new talent into F1 via Redbull backing.
Your right about that, I think Bourdais would do an excellent job, I think he probably would give the team excellent feedback as well.
I think it would be great. Now, just for the sake of having a competitive American in F1, let's get Marco Andretti into a race seat at Honda. As for Scott Speed, maybe he can have the second seat at Prodrive along with Gary Paffett. Just a thought...
