Bourdais: I was not part of shootout Thursday, 20 November 2008 16:55 眼镜哥：我并不在争夺战当中 情报来源：http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=44643&PO=44643, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sebastien Bourdais insists he was not part of Toro Rosso's driver shootout at this week's Barcelona test - and that the hurdles to him retaining his seat are financial, not performance-related. 眼镜哥坚称本周在巴塞隆纳的测试他并不在红牛二队车手大位争夺战当中，而真正影响他 能否保留住车手大位的关键因素在於财政，无关乎驾驶表现问题。 The Frenchman was on duty for the last two days of the three-day test, at which STR evaluated F1 refugee Takuma Sato and Red Bull-backed GP2 star Sebastien Buemi. 法国人(眼镜哥)为为期三天的测试负责後两天的工作，此测试是为了评估F1浪人佐藤老大 以及红牛支持的GP2明星车手赛巴斯汀‧布米。 Although there is a vacancy at STR in any case due to Sebastian Vettel's promotion to the senior Red Bull Racing squad, the Faenza-based team has yet to confirm either of its 2009 drivers. 然而因为维尔特晋升到大牛因此不论如何小牛都有至少一个车手的空缺，这支义大利车队 对於2009年赛季的两位车手名单都还尚未确定。 Bourdais denies that he was reapplying for his own job at this week's test, however - claiming his role was to provide a benchmark for the team's 2009 simulation and development work. 眼镜哥否认本周的测试是为了重新应徵小牛的工作，然而他声称此次测试他所扮演的角色 是为车队2009年的模拟与发展工作提供评价基准。 "I am not here for a shootout," he said in an interview with the official Formula 1 website. 「我并非为了角逐车手的位子而来的。」他在访谈中对F1官网这麽说道。 "I am here as a reference to the team because they know me quite well, and whatever they are trying, in the end it is mainly tyre comparison stuff, tyre usage." 「我来此是来为车队提供参考数据，因为他们知道我还不赖，而他们所做的所有测试到头 来主要都是为了轮胎对照，轮胎使用。」 Bourdais admits his position is still in jeopardy - citing Toro Rosso's need for extra finance. 眼镜哥承认他的位子岌岌可危，并引出小牛对於额外资金上的需求。 He expects the ongoing quest for this to preclude the team from finalising its driver line-up in the next few weeks. 他预估这样持续不断的探求资金将会妨害车队在未来几周内确定明年赛季的车手阵容。 "The problem is purely financial," he said. 「问题纯粹就是钱阿。」他说道。 "The team needs some money and I think until they find a driver package which is fast enough and had got the funds - or they find a solution themselves - they won't find a solution for their line-up." 「车队需要钱而我想在他们找到一个速度够快又有资金的车手人选之前，或者是他们自己 能够解决财政问题，不然明年车手阵容的问题不会得到答案。」 When asked how sure he is of staying with his current team, Bourdais replied: "Absolutely not at all." 当被问及有几成把握能留在目前的车队时，眼镜哥回答说：「我一点把握也没有。」 "As far as I am concerned I don't see a decision being made any time soon because I don't see anybody being able to guarantee money right now, or tomorrow or the next day." 「就我个人目前来看，我想短期内车手人选并不会有答案，因为我并没有看到有任何人能 够在现阶段保证提供资金。」 "I think it will drag on for quite some time and I am a professional driver and at some point I will need to make sure that I have a job for next year." 「我想这问题会拖上好一阵子，而我是一位职业的车手在某些方面我将需要确定我明年还 有工作。」 "And when the time comes I will have to make a decision." 「当时机到来时我将必须做出决定。」 Bourdais says STR is considering a wide range of options for its 2009 driver line-up, and not just himself, Sato and Buemi. 眼镜哥说，红牛二队正在考虑的2009赛季阵容选项相当的广泛，当前的名单并非只有他自 己、佐藤老大跟布米。 "There have been three drivers in Barcelona, but Rubens (Barrichello) is on the list and Bruno (Senna) as well - if he dosen't get picked up by Honda," he said . 「有三位车手在巴塞隆纳，但是老巴跟小洗拿已经在名单当中，如果他没有被本田选走。」 他说。 "So anybody who has got talent and money today is a potential candidate." 「所以说任何有天份还有资金的人今日都是有可能的候选人。」 The 29-year-old is confident the option on his contract will be taken up provided the decision doesn't come down to money. 这位29歳的年轻人表示，如果最後决定不是回到资金这个项目上的话，他对於续任其实还 蛮有信心的。 "If nobody is able to assemble enough solid funding I guess - from what [team principal] Franz [Tost] is saying - I am number one on the list because to change two drivers in a team is always a tough thing to do, and that is not their preferred solution, for sure." 「我猜如果没有人能够筹措足够的资金，车队老大法兰斯说，基本上我是车手候选名单的 第一位，因为在车队中同时间换了两位车手总是比较不利，而这同时也不是他们所偏好的 选项这点是可以确定的。」 "Actually Franz wanted to keep both Sebastian [Vettel] and me, but obviously Sebastian has moved on to Red Bull and I don't have the money, so this makes things quite difficult..." 「事实上法兰斯的意愿是希望两位赛巴斯汀都能留下维特尔跟我，但是很显然地维特尔已 经转到大牛去了而我又缺乏资金，所以这让事情变的更加困难...」 Bourdais added that he has not thought of Plan B if he loses his Toro Rosso seat. 眼镜哥又补充说道，他从未想过其他的出路如果他真的失去了小牛的位子。 "I have no idea," he said. 「我不知道。」他说。 "As far as I am concerned right now my priority is to stay here, but at same point I will have to make up my mind and take a potentially very difficult decision." 「就我个人来说，目前我的第一志愿是留在小牛，但是在该点上我将必须下定决心做下可 能非常困难的决定。」 "In the meantime it is scary because I don't know what I'll be doing next year. " 「同时这真的是很让人不安，因为我不知道明年我将会做什麽。」 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 所以说眼镜哥当前能否续留小牛的主要问题还是取决於赞助资金的方面，我心目中明年小 牛最梦幻的组合应该是Bourdais+Sato吧。眼镜哥佐藤老大祝你们好运！ --
