No wait, it looks like you're already under it, courtesy of Jaimie Alguersuari, your new replacement, I mean teammate.
This will be the second time that Scuderia Toro Rosso has allegedly booted a driver for "lack of performance," when the difference between the kept driver and the sacked driver is often the difference between 16th and 18th spot on the grid.
I always thought that anything short of the first 8 places was a poor showing.
As reported by Motorsport.com
Jaimie Alguersuari on Monday indicated that Sebastien Bourdais has been ousted from his race seat at Toro Rosso.
The 19-year-old Spaniard is the favourite to replace Frenchman Bourdais, whose immediate exit from the Red Bull-owned team is expected to be confirmed on Tuesday.
Alguersuari told Radio Catalunya: "He is 30, he has a daughter, has won four championships in the American Champ Cars, won the F3000 here in Europe and, honestly, is a highly trained driver.
"But it seems that this year he has not given it everything, as he should have.
"I truly believe that the decision by Red Bull is just, but it is never nice to see someone taken away after half a season," Alguersuari added.
Toro Rosso on Monday would not comment.
If he makes his debut as expected in Hungary in two weeks, the Spaniard - not yet 19 and a half years old - would be the youngest ever Formula One race driver.
