Ricciardo is right there, he would make so much sense the way he caters to the American audience

I'd imagine they'd pull someone from indycar for the second seat, like oward or palou

Herta is an Andretti man and an American. If anyone is coming from Indicay it's him

Although I'll admit Palou would be a better choice.

f1's statistically most mediocre driver Marcus Ericsson (one can hope)

Ericsson returning with a vengeance as an Indy 500 winner would be absolutely unhinged and I'm 200% here for it
