Rubens Barrichello to Race in the INDY 500: Replaces Kanaan
At least his helemet is anyways.
http://www.f1racing.net/en/news.php?newsID=119152 Rubens is wearing Kanaan's helmet in Monaco and Kanaan is wearing Rubens helmet at the Indy 500. Seems those are the 2 races each would like to race so they switched helmets for this upcoming weekend. I think its pretty cool. I miss the days when drivers crossed over to diferrent series when they wanted and were able too, but helmets swapping over is a start  Will they swap back if they both win with their new helmets? |

Wich one? Micheal or Mario? I would like to see Rubens give it a try, maybe after F1 (though he is getting older). But Rubens does have connections for a good ride, maybe Gil could hook him up with the Captain. I would also like to see JPM come back and try to make it 2 for 2 someday as well

If you could have any F1 Driver or any driver take a chance at the Indy 500 at least once who would it be? who would have good chance to win (with a good car of course)?
I would like to see David Coultard give it a try. Also seeing Jeff Gordon finally race at the Indy 500 would be really cool as well and with the right team he could have good chance to win. I really miss the cross overs of good talent |

I remember last year Tony Stewart nearly attempted to qualify a car for someone to drive in the race...Maybe if the race was moved an hour or two earlier we could have more NASCAR drivers take part, I would like to see Casey Mears, Tony Stewart take part again and Jeff Gordon and a few other NASCAR stars...
And some F1 drivers... |

It'a about time he did something else besides Ferrari & karts. He once had an Alfa ETCC drive lined up but Ferrari wouldn't let him. Fat chance they'd let him get Junqueira'd at Indianapolis either. |

He never had a race driver with Alfa Romeo in the ETCC lined up. He tested the car, that's all. It was because his step-brother Sebastien Stahl was getting a few races with the team.

Schumi would be up to the challenge, I reckon. But he probably wouldn't do it, probably for contractual reasons.

Wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the thread-title, but this was cool - thanks for the heads up boom boom

And yes, I totally agree it would be nice to see some NASCAR drivers take part again. Robby Gordon would probably be a given, and Casey Mears has also said he very much would like to race in the Indy 500. Tony Stewart might be interested in doing it again as well. Hopefully they'll sort something out when it comes to the starting time to make it possible again. |
