Bourdais destroys Toro Rosso car
Sebastien Bourdais is a four-time Champ Car title-winner.
Bourdais has won two points in three races this season
Sebastien Bourdais wrecked Toro Rosso's new car on its maiden
appearance during testing in Spain.
The team are hoping the STR3 will make its full debut at next month's
Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul.
But Frenchman Bourdais, in his debut F1 season, crashed into a barrier
at the Circuit de Catalunya on Wednesday.
Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost said: "He simply went too fast." The damage
means Sebastian Vettel will be unable to use the car in the final day
of testing.
Four-time Champ Car title winner Bourdais was eighth quickest of the
10 drivers in action, with a best lap of one minute 20.715 seconds.
His time was nearly 2.3 secs adrift of Fernando Alonso, who topped the
unofficial timesheets in his Renault, albeit on slick tyres.
