Question: How long before the media starts refering to the squad from Faenza as 'Sebastien (or Sebastian) Toro Rosso'? Scuderia Toro Rosso has finally announced the long-expected signing of Sebastien Bourdais, effective after the conclusion of the 2007 Champ Car season in early December.
The Frenchman will join the recently signed Sebastian Vettel of Germany to com plete the line-up for next year. "It has been a long time coming, but here we are!" said Bourdais. "I would like to thank everyone at Red Bull for believing in me and giving me his long-awaited opportunity to race in Formula One.
"I must also thank Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing for letting me pursue my dream and allowing me to test for Scuderia Toro Rosso a few times this year."
The three-time Champ Car champion, who is currently in the hunt for a fourth title, had hoped to join the ranks of F1 drivers in 2003 with Arrows after becomming the 2002 F3000 champ, but lost the chance when the team folded.
