F1- Who would you pick as the US's driver?

Juan would have a little trouble fitting in the cockpit of a modern F1 car these days...

Duh...

The "F" doesn't stand for what you think it does.

TJ, here's some info on Summerton:

Rahal. Hes a real nice kid, and i would say Will Power

how 'bout Jr. ... he at least thinks he's the best there is

I would put Jr on my lawn mower. He is riding a name about as far as one possibly can

nah... i say Chad Little and Harry Gant should get the seats...

What about Mrs. Franchitti http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/blogs/2010/01/bumper-car-race-ashley-vs-jimmie-vs-jimmy/

Boris or A.J.

(Said, or Almendinger -sorry about the spelling)

Tommy Kendall, experienced, versatile and talented. he would be a great teacher for an upcoming hot shoe

TK's one of my favorite guys, but most folks around the track say his foot injuries from the GTP crash at The Glen are finally catching up to him as he ages. One of the reasons he's one of my favorite guys is how he ran through Trans-Am in the 90s with bad feet...

QFT!

I was at the Glen when TK's Intrepid shredded parts and put him off. Great weekend, but a bad day.........

His performances in the Roush Mustangs (I still quiver remembering the sound of those SBFs) were amazing.

However, with a very few exceptions, I don't want TK or any other driver mentioned in this thread in a USF1 car.

Isn't he Australian?

Another problem with TK, besides his age and injury status... and the fact that he retired, is that he is like 6 ft 4 inches tall.

Ken Block, of course.

Looks like USF1 is on the verge of signing someone from Alicante, Spain.

When you hail from the 2nd most beautiful city in the world, I have to give you a chance to win me over with your driving skills.
