Not a bad move at all. He’s going to be 27 next year, a bit too old for an F1 rookie, and probably doesn’t have the budget to get a seat. He could be pretty competitive in IndyCar. Could turn out to be a real smart move if true.
If an F1 seat doesnt come this year than an Indycar seat would be great for sam, especially should he win the GP2 this year as the champions can’t race the next year.
