Speed performance in the GP2 Championship has been great his in 3rd only a matter time before he gets his first win. Not to mention his championship last year in the formula Renualt. Seeing that he has tested and became the 3rd test driver for Team red bull its only a matter of time, it might be possible this year depending on Kliens performance.

I don't think F1 will ever be back on the map. Nascar is on top for a reason because its the WWE of racing. Its pure entertainment with a dash of racing every now and then. Its a marketing machine. American going to F1 is nice but as it stand right now most people haven't heard of him or know how good of a race car driver he is. I think it benfits the true fans who would love to hear the American Anthem on the podium ceremonies.
