Sebastien Bourdais is certain his formula one career is over.<\/p>\n
After a dominant career on the American open-wheeler scene, the Frenchman switched to F1 in 2008 but struggled with Toro Rosso.<\/p>\n
The junior Red Bull team dropped him mid-way through its next campaign and he has since raced in sports cars and the open wheel series Superleague.<\/p>\n
Bourdais, now almost 32, recently tested an Indycar with an eye to a return to the American scene, but in an interview with sports.fr he admitted his F1 career is definitely over.<\/p>\n
“For me, F1 is finished, and – anyway – I don’t want to run at the back any more.<\/p>\n
“Unless someone comes to me with a very interesting offer, which I doubt very much, I turned the page after the Nurburgring in 2009 and I don’t miss it (F1) at all.<\/p>\n
“I had some good races, some bad ones and some terrible (ones).\u00a0 I have the experience but I’ll be 32 soon so I am aware that the time has passed.<\/p>\n
“I had my chance, it didn’t go exactly as I wanted, but it happened.\u00a0 Now, I am looking for other challenges,” added Bourdais.<\/p>\n
