Bourdais's tyre check and fries01/07/2009

Four-time Champ Car champion and current Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Sebastien Bourdais took time out from his busy F1 schedule to visit a McDonalds restaurant in Austria for Car Wash Day 2009, supported by Bridgestone.

Bridgestone offered motorists tyre checks at the THINK BEFORE YOU DRIVE safety station and where experts including Bourdais himself checked tyre pressures, tread depth and overall tyre condition, issuing tyre safety certificates to all participants.

Bourdais was on location at a McDonalds in Vienna where he was joined by Austrian celebrities and McDonalds staff in washing windscreens and collecting funds for critically ill children.
