Americans watch Marco Andretti with hope

Red Bull may be spending a lot of money to promote an American driver in Europe but over in the United States there is already talk that perhaps Marco Andretti will follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather and try his hand one day in Formula 1. Young Andretti has just finished testing a Toyota Atlantic car for the first time and says that he will be looking to do some Atlantic races this year. He may also do some oval racing in the Infiniti Pro Series, which supports the Indy Racing League. At the moment young Andretti is a road racer but may decide that he prefers to stick to ovals. This year he will race in the Star Mazda series and will be seen by the F1 crowd for the first time in Montreal where the Star Mazda series will be supporting the Canadian Grand Prix.
