The difference in money and cars in F1 is far more magnified than it is in Cup because every team's car is 100% in-house designed and fabricated. Without the development budget there is no catching up with the big teams. You could put Hamilton in a Caterham and he's still going to struggle to crack the top 15.

If Danica went to F-1, her stats would improve tremendously.

If she finishes last in Nascar, she gets 43rd place
If she finishes last in F-1, she gets 22nd.

There's a 50% improvement right there.....!

IMO, Danica is driving at her limit. Not Larson's limit, but her limit.

Unlike, J Guthrie, who clearly was logging pace laps...

Kyle Larson possibly has more talent than ANY racer I've ever seen.

But here's my dream/prediction for him:

There's a brand new F-1 team being developed by Haas (Stewarts partner) which should be in effect by 2016. They've stated that they'd like to start with an F-1 veteran driver, and a young American to learn & develope with.

Is there ANYBODY in this country that could adapt to that as quick as this kid could....? Nobody I've seen or heard about.

F-1 NEEDS the USA. America needs someone to root for in it. Not since Mario Andretti won the World Championship in '78, this country hasn't given much of a damn.

Larson could be THE guy that the whole world watches....

For the position of " young American " i think you'd probably want someone who's driven open wheel, rear engined cars at very high speeds. And there's a number of good prospects for that in Indy cars right now. Larson may very well turn out to be one of the greats who can drive, and more importantly, who can win in any type of race car on any type of track. So far, that list includes A.J. Foyt, Tony Stewart, Mario Andretti, Al Unser Sr., and Dan Gurney. Let's give Larson a few more years and see where he's at.

Don't forget Parnelli Jones.
