    If only America had a single seater series with loads of talent! I’d be shocked if they chose a non-american

      In that series, 5 drivers are American and under 25. It’s too much of an investment to have a driver that will age out in a decade. I haven’t checked who has the SL points required recently, but I think it’s only 2-3 contenders.

      Realistically, the potential transfers from Indycar are Palou (Spain, 27 but a champion with the SL pts), Herta (not enough SL pts) and at the outside O’Ward (Mexico).

    Fuck cadillac.
    Their horrible dangerous headlights and tail lights have made me hate them, and everything about them. To say nothing of the grossly enormous escalade.

      Cadillac makes those abominations because people buy them. If people would buy something reasonably sized with decent headlights, that’s what Cadillac would make. It’s the people that buy them.

      I’m pretty sure their F1 car design won’t have headlights and will be roughly the same size as every other F1 car.

    “The obvious question is whether we’ll have American drivers and personally, I see no reason why an American driver can’t be selected on merit as well,” he said. “It’s certainly something that the fans would like to see, and I see no reason why that can’t happen. But the overriding objective is merit. We’ve got a job to do here.

    Damn, he never even drove for them but here they are dunking on Logan Sargeant.
