I'm sure that stoopid mario would like to have 3 generations of Andrettis in f1.

if Micro cant be the first man to win an Indystyle race he may as well be the first gandkid t race in F1. :tony:

Well, I guess if you're Michael, "Andretti Green Denies Barrichello Reports" sounds better than "Barrichello Says NFW, You Idiots". What a douche. :laugh:

“If you had asked me a few years ago, maybe I would have wanted to do the Indy 500, but not today,” he said. “It’s not to do with the danger. In fact, I would prefer to try a motorbike race which I rate the same in terms of its danger.” - Rubens, 2005

"I've not seen that," he added. "Nobody here's got a clue.
The only thing official is he's not here. Nobody is confirming it."

Why does anyone think AGR would know anything about this? If Honda and Barrich ello want to do this, they will tell AGR to do it. Crap, they'll run six cars if Honda if funding it.

Marco to Honda F1? That's harder to believe, especially without a USGP (as yet)

Barrichello to the IRL? Perhaps. Not likely without a whole lot less ovals on the 09 schedule and let's see how much the "unified" IRL attracts in terms of rating, tickets sold, and sponsors.

Doesn't seem too far out there.

Afterall, Twobens does meet all the criteria:
1. Compatible with Honda Yen
2. Doesn't mind working in obscurity
3. Able to work with overhyped teammates
4. Foreign
5. No oval experience
6. Looking to move up to NASCAR
7. Knows how to pull over

IMO, Marco does not have enough talent for F1.

Any rules against platooning? Oval experts? Road course ringers? Street race specialists? An owner like Penske would love to win a dozen races like that even if his drivers didn't crack the top 10 at the end. Somebody will try it.

He doesn't have enough talent for ICS, either.

IMO, Marco does not have enough talent for F1. The jury is still out on whether he has enough talent to win in the EARL...:laugh: Micro would have his hands quite full in a top GP2 ride.

I won't go that far... now that said, I suppose you can interpret that as an indictment on the driver talent level of the series, compared to others.
