Both Power and Briscoe have clearly missed the F1 boat and the underperformance of Bourdais in F1 has probably forced the team owners of F1 to take IndyCar less seriously than ever before. I think the only way, how anyone can still join F1 from IndyCar on merit (not as a paydriver!), is simply by blowing everyone away already pretty much as a rookie. In this case it would be quite difficult to ignore such talent. And even then odds are better, if such driver arrives from American feeder series, because if he races in GP2/etc and doesn't get snapped up by F1 teams, they probably may not rate him as worthy enough.

Neither, I don't think. Daniel Ricciardo will almost certainly be the next Aussie in F1. Perhaps even as early as next season.

Or who knows - perhaps as early as this season!
