Bourdais believes his four championships have come from taking each year one race at a time. “I think we've been extremely fortunate to win it four straight times,” Sebastien commented. “And it's all to the credit to the relationship we all had together in the team and how much effort has been put together to achieve these results. It was a lot of fun, but we always took the races one at a time and that's probably been one of the keys to the success we've had.

“I hope people think we went after it and gave it our very best,” he continued. “We haven't won these four championships by waiting for the points to accumulate and just playing it consistent.

For me, it's been a race-by-race thing that transformed into one championship and then another, and then another and then another.
