Indianapolis – Is there a future Formula 1 Driver Indianapolis 500 area?

This is possible, but definitely not specified.

The driver on the pole, Robert SchwartonHe has been a Ferramola 1 backup driver for a Ferrari and Super in the past few years. He is the 2019 Formula 3 champion and has six Formula 2. Schwartqan did not compete for the oval. So, Indianapolis 500 on Sunday will be his first oval experience for him, as he moves to Indycar The race after he did not land two frustrating seasons on the Formula 1 trip, which he hoped to secure.

“Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to go to F1, although I really made my best.” “It was so,” well, if this is not the way to go, I will try here in Indi, “and here we are.

“It is a good place to be. I really love it. I really enjoy it.”

“It is incredible frankly” – Robert Schwartican talks about the emotions of winning the Indianapolis 500 pole

Three drivers in 2025 Indy 500 have Formula 1 starting. Marcus Ericsson Make 97 starting from 2014-2018, Tacoma Sato Made 90 starting from 2002-2008 and Alexander Rossi Make five beginnings in 2015.

With four wins in the first five circles races of this year, do not do so Alex Palo Be a possibility?

Well, it is complicated.

While he was with a contract with Chip Ganassi Racing at Indycar, he signed with McLaren to drive in Indycar and be a backup driver in Formula 1 in 2023. Janesi sued Palo, who made a training session in Austin for McLaren, and he finally remained with Gansei. The lawsuit in England is still McLaren with the courts to determine the amount of what is owed by McLaren to back down from this contract.

Will other Formula 1 teams look at this drama and say they do not want to deal with it?

“I will understand that.” “I don’t know [if that’s the case]. Certainly, it does not help. “

Palo, Pato Outward (McLaren Reserve Driver) and Colon Herta (Andretti driver is likely to do this step) They are the three drivers often in the move from Indycar to Formula 1.

The three said they are racing in Indycar, but with the opening of the Cadillac seats for the next year with the new team to be presented by the owner of the Andretti Dan Towriss team, there are relationships and familiarity with them in the garage.

Palo said: “I am fine where I am.” ))

The three know that their time to take the step is limited based on their age. Palou is 28, Outward is 26 and Herta is 25.

Pato O’wward is currently a test and resevensing mcLaren. He will get a leadership in Formula 1 in Mexico City later this year, just as he did last year for the team.

“I love a chance for tumor 1,” said Outward, who is fourth in the Indycar ranking. “But it is a mysterious world, right?

“I don’t come with $ 30 million. I said it several times, and there are many players who do it, and I understand that this aspect of work is impossible to ignore.”

Indycar’s lifestyle may not be glamorous when it comes to events, but it is also something that drivers embrace.

“I love where I am,” said Ayd, who is from Monterrey, Mexico. “If this is where I am for the rest of my life, I fall. I love America. I love. Actually, I will be very sad to leave America, because I love to live here a lot, but I will be happy with the opportunity of a dream that always lives in my head.

“In order to be fair, Indycar will always be at home for me. It will always matter. It doesn’t matter if you go to Formula 1 for a few years or anything else, I will always return and Indycar is what will feel like at home.”

Herta said he loves the Indycar race and that it will not be an easy decision to make this step. Talking about it may have heard a lot to F1 over the past few years that, sometimes, he rejects the topic when asking him.

“I have nothing in these things,” said politely while preparing for Indianapolis 500.

Herta also needs fourth place in points to be eligible for a super -race license. He is currently sitting in the ninth place in the standings, 44 points from the fourth and 144 points from the lead. Herta said that he does not focus on the fourth place standard.

“We just need to run better on Sunday,” said Herta. “We were very poor on Sunday for various reasons, and it was frustrated.

“We have a really good qualified average and the average end of our end is very terrible, so we need to work on it and don’t worry about it [in the standings]”
