I too believe it is lame how they are looking so young for talent. The problem with the racing in the states is that even if someone were proficient in a shifter kart at say 16, by the time they are 18 they are in either a midget or sprint car, or a stock car in some support series. The only thing people like to see in the states is circle track. Very gay. When you look at 'Neckcar and the talent that they have, their best drivers look like idiots on road courses. F1 is too advanced for the race fan in the states.
I have decided if I ever have children they will be exposed to racing from an early age. I may never drive an F1 car but I hope my future children will have that opportunity. Road racing has always been looked down upon in the US given the heritage with muscle cars and straight line speed. Even kids today want to modify their Hondas to go fast in straight lines. Maybe these kids need to see some video footage from the days of Prost and Senna in the 80s when they battled with each other as team mates in their McLaren Honda. The car incidentally was a beast to drive but it was an all conquering car quite like the Ferraris of late.
