Sebastien Bourdais is still awaiting news on his whether he will continue to be employed by with Toro Rosso next season.
With Red Bull set to scale down its involvement and the team needing extra funds the Frenchman’s place could be in jeopardy, despite the confirmed departure of teammate Sebastian Vettel.
“All I can say is that right now it seems to be going fairly well,” said Bourdais. “I will just try to keep the momentum going. It is not my decision obviously. If I could say what I wanted to do it is quite clear I would like to stay with Toro Rosso and use the work we have put together this year to try and build something strong for next year. I keep on doing the best I can and we will see if it is good enough. Obviously it is Gerhard [Berger], Franz [Tost] and Dietrich's [Mateschitz] decision, so we will see.”
Bourdais says he is hoping to again be in the fight for points, but he admits that Spa suited his style more than Monza.
“For sure we hope to carry the momentum, that's the goal. Valencia was nothing special for me, just the team did a great job and the car was very competitive. But we didn't really fix the issues that I had been facing in previous races. Then we arrived in Spa and obviously I felt really good straight away. We had just had a few handling problems here and there but nothing fundamental. We found some solutions for this, and in qualifying it was really strong. And in the race we looked set for fifth place which was quite unreal to be honest.
“Obviously I felt really good on that track in Spa, it is a track which I always liked and it flows nicely. You don't have many entries with a lot of brakes in the corners, so that suited my style very well and it was not really showing the problems I had been facing with the STR3. Obviously we came here and , and I wasn't very comfortable, but we will see if we can use some of the knowledge that we took from Spa and try and build from there and see what can happen.”
