He had yellow flags that messed up his 2nd attempt:


quote->
Sebastien Bourdais (18th, 1:27.446): "The car felt really solid this
afternoon compared to the morning when we struggled to put everything
together because of the limited running I had yesterday. We made a few
changes for the afternoon and I felt we were right on the money. My first
run was good on the prime tire and I was competitive. Then on the first
set
of option tires, I had a really good lap until unfortunately I made a
mistake at the second to last corner, which ruined it. I had another try
towards the end of Q1 but there was a yellow flag which cost me too much
time. A shame, as I felt I could have been in Q2."

and

>Giorgio Ascanelli, Technical Director: "Vettel did a very good job to
make
it into Q3, but unfortunately he was unable to take any part in the final
session because of a technical problem. On his first ever F1 qualifying
session, Bourdais could have made it through to Q2, but unfortunately his
final attempt was spoilt by yellow flags."

So, all in all, it is not really indicative of Sebastian's talent. He will

do just fine,
and we have to give him another 3-5 races to really see how well he can 
do....
