Bourdais ‘glad’ to see English WCup loss quiet Brits at Toronto Indy
TORONTO — Max Chilton and Jordan King’s despair was Sebastien Bourdais’ delight.
As England’s dreams of making its first World Cup final since 1966 were dashed off the leg of Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic in the 109th minute of their semifinal match in Russia on Wednesday, the French IndyCar driver took pleasure in knowing that he wouldn’t have to listen to the British drivers discuss their “Three Lions” at the Toronto Indy.
“I’m kind of glad the English didn’t make it, because it would’ve been just all we would’ve talked about all weekend,” said Bourdais.
“So no offence, just kind of happy it’s not happening.”
