Sato misses out to Bourdais

Bad news is just pouring in for F1 lovers. Toro Rosso confirmed Bourdais along with Sébastien Buemi (btw what is the deal with Toro Rosso and Sébastien? Vettel, Bourdais and now Buemi all Sébastiens? Coincidence?) ending the speculations over Takuma Sato’s return. No hard feelings for Bourdais, he is a promising driver. Just feeling sad to visualize F1 without Sato again this year. The guy is a true entertainer. It takes something special to overtake two world champions (Schumi and Alonso!) in a single race in a Super Aguri. Plus, now Force IndiaNS will be left alone on the track. No real competitors for them!

All other teams have retained their drivers so Sato has no chance unless Honda is revived(duh!) or substituted. F1 needs a star like Sato around. He is like Muralitharan when he bats, plays for the heck of it but can manage to spring a surprise every now and then!
