And in this mornings free practice at Monaco, Scott Speed was faster than Alonso.

This, of course, means that Bourdais is faster than Alonso...

Lap times during F1 tests mean almost nothing when you try to compare them to those of other drivers in the team and then with the other teams. Everyone runs different programs, different tweaks of the aero, are light or heavy on fuel, yadda, yadda, yadda. This is not like comparing test times in CC, where you essentially have everyone running the same Formula Fords on steroids.

Bourdais is F1 capable, along with a large number of other guys. It will be interesting to see if Todt's connections, which got him the test, can get him a ride.
