He should probably turn them down. He'd be better off elsewhere.

You're probably right, but another team needs to ask him in order for this to happen.

Hm. I had not considered this before, but what about Fisichella at USF1 or Campos? Campos were aiming to get Ferrari engines in 2011...

Interesting thought; I guess it's possible.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if USF1 took on drivers from NAStyCAR like Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson or even Mr Chubby.

Come on

You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did

Nothing wrong with that don't you think because if they can manhandle an 800hp 1500lb Sprint/Dirt Track car I'm sure they could handle a F1 car. Lets not forget that your so called NastyCar drivers also manhandle a 750+hp NastyCar around a few roadcourse's. I simply cannot fathom the disdain for US drivers, regardless of the series they race in, by some of our bretheren from across the pond

It's mainly because when we send our drivers to US series, they (Usually) do alright, a few even decimate the opposition. When US Series send drivers to F1, they usually fizzle out into obscurity, or outright stink. Now, obviously, that doesn't mean it's an absolute or even a particularly reliable conclusion (Most drivers never make the swap after all), but it creates a perception.
