Regardless of the media and marketing hype that would surround Patrick there are several other things to consider:
1. The object is to be competitive, not to just show up and field a team. That is what will make fans interested. If Tony Stewart or Kyle Busch are consistant back markers their notoriety will wear off quickly indeed.
2.No offense is meant toward NASCAR drivers, they are, in fact, great at what they do. However, what they do is drive in a counter-clockwise ovoid, rarely if ever shift gears, and brake primarilly only when entering the pits. Now while it is true that they race a few road tracks (like Infineon) if you've ever watched NASCAR road races it is patently obvious that the drivers are in no way whatsoever qualified to drive an 850bhp open wheeled car which requires more gear shifts and braking in the first lap of the race (pick one; Monaco, Hungaroring, Spa etc) than the entire Coca-Cola 500.
3. At least Patrick has raced in European open-wheel feeder series; been competitive in the Indy Car circuit, and is more familiar with the types of tracks you find in Formula 1.

I think the strategy will be to take a driver with an established name that also has an upside. Even though I've brought them up in my blog, the older NASCAR drivers like Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon haven't been mentioned. Kyle Busch, who's probably the best name being dropped right now, already has a following built up among NASCAR fans but is young enough to have time to grow into an F1 ride before he hits his prime.

And that gets me to another point -- where I think USF1 will differ is that you won't see the typical F1 talent evaluation mentality of score a point now or else. I think Windsor and Anderson are taking a completely different view, and because of that, any driver that gets brought in will be in a circumstance unique to F1. I don't get the sense the driver positions will be a revolving door until they find a driver that works ... they will take a much longer and strategic view. Which is why I think they'll take a driver with a name and upside, and then one of the youngsters over in Europe.

Unfortunately I think you may be right, Bryan. I'd like to think that an American driver could get in on talent from the beginning, but that may have to come after USF1's finances have stabilised.

I agree that she's not ready, but I'm not sure that will be in consideration. She gets a ton of press because her looks and her willingness to "look the part" in magazines and TV commercials. When the USF1 team hires a marketing department, she will be tops on the department's list.

Today on www.indystar.com she says that she is willing to talk.

Thankfully I've missed most of the Patrick marketing machine - the first thing that comes to my head is watching her come third in a race in a location I don't remember at 5:20am prior to a disastrous graduation ceremony.

Danica isn't ready for F1 yet, but maybe with a year in a mid-level European series like F2 or GP2, she could do it. Though I can't see her doing that unless she got paid for it - she declined A1GP for that reason.
