Tony might have a chance to be an OK F1 driver.
BUT....
Not overnight. JV practiced all winter to be able to almost win the first race, and he was going from one high-power open wheeler to antoher. The only reason I can see Tony Stewart testing an F1 car at Indy, is as a one time deal where he comes out, does a few slow laps and goes back in. Just for the purpose of showing off F1 to American stock car fans.
It takes a lot of practice to drive an F1 car fast, and Tony has none. If he were to run at the US GP as a one time thing in a Jaguar, he would undoubtably crash off trying to push the Minardis around. It's not worth it.
Don't take this as an open-wheel fan bashing tin-tops. I am just giving my opinion.
