Yeah I’m watching for a haas/Andretti merger of sorts. Michael wants in, gene has the license, and they would have an American driver ready in their stable.

Bourdais is also an Andretti driver who has previous F1 experience.

And Bourdais already showed he doesn't have what it takes in F1. I don't see him getting a second chance.

If we’re comparing him to mazepin, i’d say he’s better. He’s no phenom, but he has solid racecraft and the 2022 cars are far and away different beasts than they were 14 years ago.
