Liberty Media reportedly want to get their hands on IndyCar and turn it into an F1 feeder series.
He said: “One of the things Liberty are looking at at the moment – and this is quite a good idea – is buying IndyCar to make it effectively an American feeder series for F1.
“How they would do that, I don’t know – maybe get rid of some of the ovals and make it even more road coursey [sic], maybe make the cars a little bit more F1-like, maybe carbon brakes or whatever.“That’s not a completely stupid idea. “I think it’s quite a cool idea actually because it’s a place where you could put a lot of good, talented drivers who can’t make it into Formula 1 and then they go and do this American series.Previously regarded as a destination for drivers after the end of their F1 careers, IndyCar has seen an increased crossover with Formula 1 in recent years.
Alex Palou and Colton Herta, two of the most exciting talents in IndyCar, have both driven McLaren F1 machinery within the last year, while two-time F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso decided to miss the Monaco Grand Prix in 2017 to instead participate in the Indy 500 with the aim of winning motorsport’s so-called triple crown.
Of the 29 drivers to have participated in the 2023 IndyCar season so far, four – Championship leader Marcus Ericsson, Romain Grosjean, Alexander Rossi and Takuma Sato – have previously competed in F1.
