Next American Prospect in F1
My opinion on the next American Prospect in F1

Marco Andretti -- Waaaaaaay overrated -- No real possiblitly here

Phil Geibler ---- Not even the slightest chance

Graham Rayhal --- Hmmm - perhaps -- really young -- but will he get much quicker in the next few years???

Jonathan Summerton -- YES!!! YES!!! and YES!!! -- Setting track records left and right -- Amazingly quick for the time he's been behind the wheel -- and he's only 4 years old!!!! ---- hehe - Actually he's 19. This is the guy!

Looks like Summerton is doing quite well. I like to see other Rotax racers doing well. Another I personally know from karting that is doing quite well is Timmy Megenbier. He seems to be holding his own in Skip Barber, and was last years Rotax Grand National champion in the Jr. class only racing a few races in a kart between his Skip Barber and USAC schedule.

I don't think the next American prospect into the higher series will be someone with a "name" per sae. I think we have better drivers than our hot shots in the IRL and Champ car. They are probably still in karts or traveling about, like Summerton.

Chili -- Yes he's had a few races already in A1GP this year - Best results, 2nd at Mexico and 6th at Brands Hatch -- I believe he's looking for a GP2 ride next year.

For those of you on Facebook, Jon boy's on there and encourages people to talk to him. Top guy, and I've had the pleasure of getting to know him. Sadly he has no money, which isn't a surprise. But, I've been nagging Alfonso about him, so hopefully if i can twist his arm we can get him into GP2next year...!

We are talking about prospects.

It's hard to see where the next American will come from. I happen to believe Rahal and Andretti may have the talent (and Andretti certainly has the marketability) but they are in stagnant series at the moment really and not directly in the shop window.

Summerton looks good too, give the lad a good GP2 ride in a year or two and let's see!

As a fan of the sport without national representation, I feel your pain. For what that's worth.

The smart money'd have to be on Marco Andretti all the way, wouldn't it? Simply for the political and financial wherewithal of Dad and Grandpa. My guess is they'll have him in a seat somewhere sooner than later. Whether he succeeds or not is another question.

But, maybe my read of the situation's way off, it's happened before.

no, i had too much to do.

so what drags you away from the forum of idiots and liars?

If you were a frined you would have said something about the shameful events after the a__hole banned me and then not have lied in the outrageous aftermath. It lost your forum a lot of posters and more respect. The site is really full of idiots, but the place a couple of my old forum pals yeolde and rob hung out at!

i was wondering what brought you here....been the queen of the other place n all....and quite the topic bully....so I went over to MSM and noticed all the decent posters are jumping ship.....good for them, YOT was too good a guy to hang around a cancerous place like that.

Anyway.....next American prospect......Marco is a bad, bad oval driver but looks good in the streets, so I think with his name and his street cred, we could see him in a Honda soon....maybe when Kmi gets the boot from Ferrari and Button gets his drive! ;-)

Oh I like to travel.... virtually as well as literally...

I see you've shortened your monicker... and I guess there won't be anymore digging the car out of snow drifts....

Sorry you were too busy for Indy... but watching all the action I hope... or are you more involved on the Indycar/Champ scene...

Interesting to see how Seabass does n'est pas.... do you think that his success or failure will have an impact on whether Marco joins him...

(And I just knew you wouldn't resist a pop at the Kimster...)

Honestly, I think Danica Patrick has as good a chance as anyone mentioned in this thread of making it to F1 within the next two/three years.

In today's marketing-led world of F1 that's struggling to tap into the American market, Danica could be just the ticket. If she could merely keep her head above water, the profit a team could potentially gain from running her through sponsorship and exposure would surely pay dividends. Not only is she a woman (a big deal anywhere), but an attractive, American woman that is probably the most well-known active racing driver in the US right now outside of NASCAR. Oh and she's not that bad a driver either.

It has happened before with pay drivers but there are others in AOWR that deserve to be in F1 more than Danicar.

Well, she actually winning any race at all outside of karts would be a step forward. Latest driver in F1 without a single career win was Gaston Mazzacane.

And if you want to tap into the US market, get Dale Jr.
