Alex K has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Where's Rosenqvist? LOL
O'Ward is an interesting one. I believe he's dangerously moving close to sign something in FV83.5. Indy lights, IndyCar need Mexican drivers, he's already on MRTI ladder.....

Rosenqvist didn't race ful-time, so he was excluded from the ranking.

O'Ward had a bad second semester, don't know why. He's still far from becoming a proper IndyCar driver. But then IndyCar needs a Mexican to return to the Autódromo Hermanos RodrÃ*guez.

I wouldn't have said it was that bad. He started fantastically but petered out a little. He deserves a step up, although F3.5 V8 whatever would be an odd series to move into, instead of Indy Lights or perhaps even GP3. Although I don't know what he's planning and what he can plan so who am I to comment really but an outsider. He's young though, and still yet to refine his talent fully. IndyCar could easily work out in years to come, whereas F1 I believe could be limiting. Maybe he's eyeing up WEC.

As for your last sentence, Perez and Gutierrez went there a couple of months ago racing in some big motorsport series.

Hey guys,

I've put together a new Indy Lights projection piece based on the intel I've been able to gather from the drivers, teams and my sources.

http://roadtoindyinsider.com/2017/01...projections-2/

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to post here.

I'm not sure that Davey's totally done, but there's no full-time program in place. I think that the desire to get to Indy remains, and I was pretty impressed with how he handled his rookie outing at Mazda Raceway with McCormack, who were drastically unprepared for the effort. Hamilton has good momentum in his sprint and midget career, and I would not be surprised to see him back in an Indy Lights car for a program this year.

And yes, we're all really excited about Stefan's opportunity to represent Canada with Hinch in the ROC. I'm hoping that his dedication to the voting process will turn some heads and show the passion he has for the sport and his career. A good performance in Miami could help him land the right sports car ride in Canada in 2017.

Earliest you'll see McCormack\Hamilton is at Indy.

O'Ward said he's optimistic about continuing at the next round with Pelfrey.

Schmidt Peterson and Belardi signed a driver development partnership. Urrutia will have Arrow sponsorship.

Colton Herta did not have a good weekend at all. Kaiser is now the championship leader...

Herta has plenty of time, he's guaranteed another Lights season with this Steinbrenner deal.

Urrutia is the one that must be feeling the pressure, only 2 good results out of 6 so far. He does have the formal SPM development deal and sponsorship now, but that was based on doing well last season. Not sure they will take him if he can't at least contend for the title again. Kaiser does have an extra year's experience in Lights but didn't spend any time at the USF2000\entry-level, he went straight into a Formula Mazda car.

Indeed. At least he got a podium. But it would take a major change to get to fight the title.

Leist and Carlin are the form team/driver combo then. I can't imagine they'll drop off much for the rest of the season (I would say, save for ovals, but Leist won the Freedom 100!) Kaiser appears to be the most consistent though, he appears as if he'll be tough to catch, with his experience and speed. Far more matured with those extra seasons under his belt.

I agree Herta has time. I was surprised at how fast he was initially, and would be surprised even now if he were to be champion. He's certainly going to make Indycar at this current rate.

Even DeMelo is ahead of Urrutia...

Urrutia got crashed quite a few times. Anyway, he has struggled in qualifying. Belardi is not as good as Schmidt was.
