Maybe that's also because the gap between a front F1 car (team) and a mid F1 car (team) is massively wider in F1 than in Indycar?

What IndyCar needs is people with a bit more personality. In F1, guys like Hamilton, Vettel, and Raikkonen, whether you like their stunts or not, add quite a bit of flair. We need a Mr. Celebrity, Mr. Competitive Jerk, and a Frat party drunkard. Now.

I think you might be stretching it a bit far when you suggest that lot would add personality!! Celebrity and ability unquestionably so, but personality isn't something they are famous for...

I don't think importing even more irritating people will help Indycar too much. I just hope Cranky Mikey Andretti doesn't tell Indycar about the gimmick Formula E have, inviting the public to vote for boost for their favourite driver.

Why was Jacques not interested? Why are drivers not interested in IndyCar? I think the racing is great. Okay you can earn more money in NASCAR and a lot of drivers have not the money to race in IndyCar, but Villeneuve had the chance, but had no interests. Why? He is not really driving anywhere - so that's stupid in my opinion.

Having made the mistake of his life by leaving Williams in 1999, he should have come back to IRL or CART racing right after the first disastrous season with BAR. Instead, he stayed in F1 for too many years wasting his prime years racing with uncompetitive teams, with predictable results. Such a waste of talent. Former F1 champions like Prost, Mansell, and Raikkonen were smart enough to take some time off from F1 racing when there was no competitive seat available.

On the other hand, would a second Sarah Fisher car for the 2011 Indy 500 have been competitive? Last edited by rwintle; 24 Dec 2013 at 05:43. Reason: got the wrong end of the stick, transiently |

I think having a Busch in the Indy 500 could help this series...
...and Busch is American... |
