Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - I hoki mai a Bourdais ki te F1 i te 2007 i muri i te maha o nga whakamatautau me Scuderia Toro Rosso. I te 10 o Akuhata 2007 i panuitia ka whakakapi a Bourdais i a Vitantonio Liuzzi i te roopu-b a Red Bull, Toro Rosso, hei hoa-a-roopu ki a Sebastian Vettel. I te 16 o Poutu-te-rangi 2008 i whakataetae a Bourdais i tana whakataetae tuatahi mo te Whakataetae Whakataetae Formula Kotahi, te 2008 Australian Grand Prix
i Melbourne. He aha te take? Whai muri i tana tohu i te turanga 17, i whai hua ia i nga hapa i mahia e etahi atu kaihauturu, i te whakataetae Formula Kotahi tuatahi mai i te 2001 San Marino Grand Prix kaore he mana totika, a ka eke ki te tuawha. Heoi, me te toru huringa e toe ana i te raru o te miihini i akiaki i a Bourdais ki te reti, engari i whakarōpūtia tonu ia i te 8 o nga tau kua oti i a ia neke atu i te 90% o te tawhiti o te whakataetae. I muri mai ka riro i a ia te tuawhitu (me nga tohu Championship e rua) i muri i te whakakore a Rubens Barrichello.
