According to F1Racing.net!
"Back to back Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais says he intends to 'start a relationship' with Renault in 2006. Although the Frenchman will stay in America with Newman-Haas next year, he indicated that - built into the contract - will be a provision so he can occasionally test the F1 cars. "Then I want to start in 2007," Bourdais, 26, revealed."
"He said he had targeted Renault, even if the French manufacturer seems happy to steer away from French drivers at the pinnacle of racing. "It's got markets all over the world," Sebastien acknowledged, "so they probably have interest to have non-French drivers." He explained that no real contact had been made with the team.
In fact, the spectacle-wearing Frenchman is believed to not get along with team boss Flavio Briatore and may even have once turned down an offer to be managed by his company.
Bourdais added: "In 2007 obviously it will probably be my last chance to make it to F1. I'd very much like to make the jump.""
