Dixon to F1?

3 years ago williams looked seriously at scott dixon the irl champion but decided it was too bigger risk with a current driver pairing of montoya and ralf schumacher. 3 years later scott dixon is 2nd in the irl championship, has won the past 3 events and is unbeatable on road courses. Competing against the likes of dario franchitti, tony kanaan, helio castro-neves, the penskes, ganassis etc. why wouldnt williams be looking at dixon now? Dan wheldon and marco andretti have had test drives in good cars in the last 2 years yet dixon is the unbeatable on tracks with both left and right hand corners. Thoughts?

wont happen. f1 teams dont go for aging champcar and irl drivers anymore. they go for young gp2 stars and other young people they can build in their team. its no point for dixon either, unless he wants to drive for a crap team like toro rosso or spyker.

Ummm, I wouldnt call him unbeatable on road courses.

Andretti WOULD beat him easily if he could manage to keep from flipping over

(Oh, and BTW, The Honda isnt decent! )


The Flanker is gone.

Dixon might really do well in F1. But the current trend is to consider anyone over 21 an "aging' driver in F1.

Pathetic actually....

True, probably to old. Bit of a shame though. Thanks

Dixon has to be one of the most talented drivers around. Its a shame hes stuck racing ovals most of the time. Bit late for him to move to F1 now though if he wants a serious team. Could still happen though...

wont happen. f1 teams dont go for aging champcar and irl drivers anymore.

STR don't really seem to go for him imo. Yes, he did get a few tests, but I highly doubt Bourdais will be racing in F1 anytime soon.

the rumours at San Jose was he was closer than ever. Bourdais also turned down a NASCAR drive saying his future was secure elsewhere.
