    Rahal and Andretti, the two best shots at an American F1 pilot, but ONLY if the teams are willing to let them have a go. Tough to follow Rosberg....

    I think Rahal is building a better rounded base of experience. But Marco looked good in the rain at The Glen.

    Graham is doing fantastic against a much fuller field and more challenging tracks. Too bad Michael insisted on IRL for Marco, it would have been fantastic to see them head to head in Atlantics.

    They definately are talented guys. Yet remember that Michael with all his talent couldn't make it work and Al Jr. who tested for Williams and Benetton could not get a seat when he won all those races in CART for Penske.

    Believe me, Al Jr is a bad taste around Penske. Michael didn't approach it right, flying back and forth, thanks Sandy!
    Rahal will give better advice to Graham and has better connections, but if they send Marco next year he can get a shot. Bit like soccer, if they haven't signed you in your teens, forget it!

    And the teams will definitely be well aware of the followings these guys generate. That's where the Red Bull program missed out, since it plucked unknowns for the competition and hoped that all of America would rally behind their driver and suddenly follow a new sport because of him.
