At this stage in Marco's career it's a bit early for him, or more to the point his dad, to be talking about a seat in a top F1 team. He's had one season in the IRL, and impressive though he has been, that's not enough.

Dad obviously wants him to be prepared when (not if by the sound of his comments) he makes the move and that's understandable, but it's difficult to know what his next move should be.

I'm sure there are those in the IRL organisation who would love to see one of "their" drivers go straight into F1, but it's a big ask.

Marco does look as though he could be the real deal though...
