'Seb was just going too fast'

Although Toro Rosso claim Seb Bourdais was to blame for his Barcelona crash, team boss Franz Tost concedes it just part of motor racing.


Just hours after unveiling the Toro Rosso STR3 on Wednesday morning, Bourdais destroyed the new car in a huge high-speed accident.


Traveling at over 250km/h the Frenchman left the track at Turn Nine, skipped over the gravel and went crashing into the barriers, causing significant damage to the car.


And although Tost says the accident was a result of Bourdais going too fast, he doesn't hold it against the rookie.


"He was going simply too fast. This can happen; it is part of motor racing," Tost told Eurosport.
