Team USA

Well Marco is hardly setting the world alight. In his first lap out of the pits during the Kyalami feature he let four cars past on one lap, including Zahir Ali who took all of one corner to get past Marco.

Seat holder for Team Indonesia is Satrio Hermanto's dad, however he still put Zahir Ali in to have a go...

Time for Michael Andretti to prove what a racer he really is and bring back Jonathan Summerton in order to get better results?

Since Andretti Green Racing is only in it to give their US drivers some test time in the winter, I doubt it they will bring in anyone else besides Marco or Danica unless they have to.

So I guess that untill the month of May (when the preparations for the Indy 500 start), you're not likely to see anyone else.

Too bad though, as there is more than enough talent in the USA, like Jonathan Summerton, Charlie Kimball, Richard Antinucci or Carl Skerlong.

And having read that Kyle Bush might be interested in doing F1, I would, if I were team USA seatholder, at least try to get him in the A1 car aswell.

That is why it is laughable when the on paper USF1 team said they were considering danica or marco as one of their drivers. They'd get eaten alive in F1.

Thanks for the clarification Bobby.

Michael Andretti has said that Algarve is the last race he can do this season so there will need to be a different driver for Brands at least. Perhaps it would be Kimball since he did Zandvoort. I hope Summerton can get a recall though.

Andretti also says he'd very much like to be back next season.

Antinucci isn't that good, and Kyle Busch is pure fantasy. But there's no shortage of talent, that's true.
