Franz Tost: “Bourdais to face difficult switch in F1″ 

Franz Tost, Scuderia Toro Rosso team principal, has predicted a tough season for Sebastien Bourdais despite the French has dominated in recent years in Champ Car series. The Austrian believes that Bourdais, who during winter tests has shown a good pace almost close to his teammate Vettel, will probably face problems in race qualifiers.

“So far Sebastien has done a good job. He has to get used to the rhythm of an F1 race weekend and the first few Grand Prix will not be so easy for him. But I expect he will be a front runner from the fifth or sixth race onwards,” said Tost.
