   possible path to F1. Colton Herta also, however from what I’ve observed of   
   him I don’t think he has    
   what it takes. Palou is a different story. I think he might be no worse than   
   the   
   bottom half of the current grid.

   I don't know those drivers, but F1 is so different to Indy in so many   
   ways.   
   Not only that cars are different, but tracks, rules, speed, power...   
   all are different. So, it is not easy to adapt and many who tried to   
   switch to F1 strugled.   
   It would be beneficial for the F1 sport if more American drivers   
   participate, but the right way for them would be to start very young   
   in junior competitions in Europe, in teams' academies so to grow   
   themselves as drivers and prepare for the F1.
