A couple of races once. At 27 years of age next year, and with his open wheel experience being next to zero He'd have about as much chance as I have of being the next heavyweight champion of the world. limited experience if any of the tracks wouldn't help. Fact is you don't go to F1 to learn. How many GP2 and GP3 champions don't even get close to a shot at F1?

I think he would need a new team to enter F1 for him to have even half a chance of a seat there

Major problem is that Scott isn't really interested in open wheelers.

Have to do some sort of open wheelers first. When I mentioned Scotty and Nascar, everyone was suggesting he was good enough for that and now were talking F1. |

Let's face it, the bloke found himself a good American women to marry, reducing his chances of any issues getting a Green Card, took the role at Penske increasing his chances of getting to NASCAR and is showing respect to his employer by getting the job done so he can get the drive he wants. The kid can driver, and like he said, if he races a wheelbarrow for Penske, i'll still follow his progress. |

I don't think so. MotoGP is world wide, Nascar is a bunch of rednecks that moved off the dirt onto the pavement ( as they call tarseal ). He'll basically vanish, with only the occasional mention if he wins, cos the media loves a winner.

Off course most of those "red necks" come from north of the Mason Dixon line these days.

That’s a looooooooong stretch. Even if the Captain were interested in F1 McLaughlin wouldn’t get a look in because he doesn’t have the background. A NASCAR seat? Totally see that happening in the next few years. Single seaters? No chance. |

Bottle-O won't be the major sponsor on Holdsworth's car in 2019.

Truck Assist will be the major sponsor on Holdsworth's mustang in 2020.

Poached maybe...but the exposure they have gotten from Tenno this year hasn’t been overly exciting.

It appears to be more about the networking amongst themselves, the agents who sell their products, and some key insurance product customers than on-track performance. They certainly seemed to enjoy the time in the Paddock Club at Bathurst.

Poor form appearing in next years sponsor's kit before the end of the year. Bit disrespectful to both the incumbent sponsor and team who currently are waiving said sponsor's flag. But Tickford have done it before, unveiling Will Davison's Falcon in Trading Post livery before the final event of 2010 having undercut BJR to pinch the sponsor and after Winterbottom won the series in 2015, parading him with the trophy the next day in Bottle-O 2016 kit, not that of 2015 sponsor Pepsi.
