Bourdais to test STR again in July
The Frenchman and triple Champ Car title winner, who is leading the open wheeler series' standings once again this year, tested for the Italian team in the recent winter period and some suggest that a race deal for 2008 could already have been penned.
A report in the Orange County Register read: "He has another test scheduled with the (Toro Rosso) team this summer."
The publication claims that Bourdais, 28, has said that if Toro Rosso's offer of a race seat "is right, he will take the job, knowing that at his age, this will likely be his last chance to make it to F1."
Alongside Felipe Massa, Bourdais is newly managed by Nicolas Todt, the son of Ferrari's team boss Jean Todt. Ferrari supplies engines to the Scuderia Toro Rosso outfit.
Another report, in the Florida publication St. Petersburg Times, reads: "Bourdais' test with Scuderia Toro Rosso in December earned him a second test in July."
F1 teams will test at Spa-Francorchamps in July.
