Also it's not clear if he will get a full or part time drive. If he is part time, any input will be sporadic.

Agreed - Servia won't be driving the #15
Have you never heard about 1 car teams talk of how 2 car teams are important as they improve the level of data gained, more efficient in testing & practice and improve performance quicker than 1 car teams?Hence the keeness for Bobby Rahal to add a 2nd car to RLL
Aero development maybe frozen however car set up isn't - this is where Servia with his experience and knowledge would help RLL and Graham.
No it isn't clear if its part time or full time - it could be neither. The announcement spelled that out loud itself.

yes - the article stated that the 2nd car would depend on sponsors and external investment. No secrets there.

Isn't Indycar owned by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway not the IRL?
