MONTREAL, June 8 (Reuters) - Toro Rosso's French driver Sebastien Bourdais looked forward to his home Grand Prix after enduring what he called the worst weekend of his career in Canada on Sunday.
Bourdais finished last in qualifying for Sunday's race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and then last among the 13 drivers to finish the grand prix.
The Le Mans-born driver won four U. S Champ Car titles in a row before switching to Formula One this season where, despite scoring points on his debut, he has found it hard with one of the smaller teams.
"It's just been a bad weekend all round. The race went much as I expected it, because of the really bad track conditions from the mid point on or even earlier," he said.
"It was a complete disaster for me so I just forgot about the possibility of trying to drive fast, I was just trying to bring the car home...and even doing that was a challenge."
"This was the worst race ever for me, the worst weekend of my entire career. I have never experienced anything like it. I'm looking forward now to the next race, my home race and at a circuit where the track doesn't break up".
The French Grand Prix is on June 22 at Magny Cours. German team-mate Sebastian Vettel coped better with the conditions as he finished eighth for his second successive points finish. "In these conditions, some guys did really well, like Sebastian, but I could not do anything with the car," said Bourdais.
"I went slightly off the line and got the gravel. If this happens once or twice you are concerned it can happen again which is not good, especially when you?re running last."
Team principal Franz Tost was succinct in his analysis of Bourdais' display.
"As for Bourdais, he struggled all the weekend. Let's just say this was not his weekend," he said in a team review of the race.
