Liuzzi replaced by Bourdais
Team Toro Rosso announced they signed a contract with three times CART champion Sebastian Bourdais to replace Vitantonio Liuzzi starting with next season. Liuzzi said he expected Toro Rosso’s decision.
Toro Rosso bosses Gerhard Berger and Franz Tost were critical of both Speed and Liuzzi earlier in the season. Liuzzi said his relationship with the team had deteriorated so much that a split was inevitable.
Liuzzi told Gazzetta dello Sport: “I expected it because the situation inside the team had long worsened,”
“My priority is to stay in F1, which is what I dreamed of as a child,” Liuzzi added
“I’m in contact with two other teams, otherwise I’ll aim to race in America.” said the Italian driver.
