Sebastien Bourdais to finally get test with F1’s Toro Rosso this week

Sebastien BourdaisFrance’s triple ChampCar champion Sebastien Bourdais will test for Ferrari-powered Toro Rosso in Spain later this week, the Red Bull-owned Formula One team said on Monday.

In a statement Red Bull said the 27-year-old, who has long harboured a desire to race in Formula One, would join them during the test in Jerez from Wednesday to Friday.

The Le Mans-born driver has won the U.S. ChampCar series for the past three years.

Toro Rosso, a sister team to Red Bull Racing and co-owned by former Ferrari racer Gerhard Berger, are the sole remaining Formula One team with no drivers confirmed for 2007.

Italian Vitantonio Liuzzi and American Scott Speed were their line-up this year and Berger said in August that he expected both to stay.

Toro Rosso said Bourdais’s test had been endorsed by his Newman Haas team “with whom he wants to defend his ChampCar title in 2007″.

Bourdais said last month that he doubted he would ever switch to Formula One now because he was not prepared to give up everything he had in America for a role as a test driver without any guarantees of a race seat.
