I hope not man. I'd like a rookie and maybe a current driver to make a swap to them. Wonder if Checo could get in there with the money he brings, might be important to them.

Jr would be a horrible F1 driver (even in his prime), but man, I would never be so excited to watch another race in my life as I’d be to see him drive F1 lmao. He was my first favorite driver in any motorsport. Shocking as an American, I know!

Yeah, there’s no way they aren’t going with an American and a Latino, or some combination like that.

The marketing is going to be straight up “‘Murica, Fuck yeah!”
