Interesting article from former driver Chris Amon

[Placid]

This article is in regards about teams being a bit reluctant in getting
drivers from US series (Indy Car) as they said of Scott Dixon winning the
500. And is a fact since the leagues split in the mid-90s.

Your thoughts.

These days, anyone over the age of 19 is too old to transition to Formula 1.

i think if any of the 3 australian born drivers in the champcar irl get to f1 it will be ryan briscoe

BRISBANE-born New Zealander Scott Dixon

IMHO Briscoe has been rather unimpressive with both Ganassi and now Penske in Indycar (with the exception of the 5th place run at Indy last year). Dixon appears to be a far better driver IMHO. If any of the current Indycar drivers deserve an F1 drive, I reckon it is Dixon.

Sebatein Bourdais never got that memo.

Ryan Briscoe can't even drive out of the pits - He is nowhere. probably be about a impressive as piquet

Dixon can deliver on all three types of courses and in the right car and enviroment could deliver i feel. He is intelligent as well as very quick. Lets the results do the talking. Briscoe is still a little under the curve, promises but it does not quite happen. Power, needs to show a little consistency while fast.

Lets see Kyle Busch in a good car.That will be interesting.

Aaah, that must be how he crashed at Monaco then... trying to reach over the armco to get his mail while driving...
