Sebastien Bourdais says he has "no regrets" about moving to Formula One even if it turns out that his career is over at the end of this season after just one year.
Despite a strong start to the Championship, which saw him get the better of his team-mate in the opening races and even bag Toro Rosso's first points of the season in Australia, Bourdais has fallen off the pace of late.
While he has suffered three retirements in five race, team-mate Seb Vettel has bagged five points in those same events, leading to rumours linking the German to a Red Bull seat for next season.
In sharp contrast, though, there have been no reports of Bourdais's future or whispers of other teams wanting him.
His situation is further compounded by the imminent fifty percent sale of Toro Rosso, which should it fail to go ahead could result in the team dropping out of F1 at the end of the season.
But despite the possibility of his F1 career ending only a year after it began, Bourdais says he has no regrets about making the move over from the States.
"Obviously if you start looking at this then you can get worried," the former ChampCar Champ told ITV.
"You either completely disregard it, which is pretty much the approach I choose to adopt - after all, we've only had eight races so we're not even mid-season yet.
"I can't really say I feel that I've shown what I wanted to show this year so far. What happen will happen.
"I'm kind of a free man. If I get fired because of this or because of that then so be it.
"What's really important for me is that I give my best. And I am giving my best, even if it's not paying off right now.
"But you can only influence so many parameters, so I will have no regrets, that's for sure.
"I'm doing the very best I can, and if it's not enough in some people's opinion then fine."
