He's the all American kid and a corporate sponsor dream (ie, no worries about him pulling his weenie out at a bar - sorry Kimi - but I am still a fan). Just wish USF1 would better promote themselves. Heck I saw today where they finally got a "pic" on the website and that's it.

If US really wants an American driver in F1....they will need to do it in the long run....like the RedBull program....a group of young drivers starting nothing but open wheels racing....slowly gaining experience and move on to GP2.....
