Last year, Champ Car Champion Sebastien Bourdais called Frank Williams, and asked for a test... Frank turned him down source: paddocktalk.com It seemed that Formula One had closed the door on Champ Car's top talent. Recently, Bourdais indicated that the doors at Renault seemed like an opportunity, but that they had been closed as well. Today, the Globe and Mail is reporting that Bourdais had been in contact with the BMW F1 team... AND 'decided instead to return with Newman/Haas'. The PaddockTalk Perspective: That word 'instead' hangs in the air with a big question make over it. Almost as if Bourdais had some type of offer from BMW for a test seat or a full time ride. We would find it quite significant to find out that Bourdais turned down a Formula One opportunity to stay in Champ Car... especially if it was a race seat he turned down.
