Remark of the day

Alex Palou should be pursuing a dream to succeed in F1 some day with McLaren, however reader David can not see that taking place…

Each driver is aware of that if you happen to go away the FIA single seater system, you lose your shot at F1. It’s powerful however it’s true.

You possibly can have plenty of success and make a very good dwelling out of second-tier collection like IndyCar, Endurance and Superformula. However at the same time as a a number of champion you gained’t get an opportunity to return to F1 except you could have an enormous quantity of backing or some type of hyperlink to a group proprietor.

I can’t even bear in mind the final time somebody got here into F1 after a interval of success outdoors FIA single seaters. Do we have now to return so far as Bourdais? He dominated Indycar for a number of seasons and was then utterly outclassed by one other F1 rookie in the identical automobile. Granted Vettel turned out to be top-of-the-line skills of his era however F1 groups aren’t searching for the subsequent midfielder. The are all searching for the subsequent champion.

As ever, the truth that Marcus Ericsson and Romain Grosjean are prime contenders in Indycar counts towards anybody like Alex Palou getting an F1 seat. He ought to simply take advantage of the F1 testing he’s been given. It’s not his fault that Zak Brown has obtained so distracted by non-F1 commitments that he has let the group stumble once more.
