take a few of the best drivers from each, team em up, alternate and race both cars, like a mini Le Mans.. orrr 1v1 elimination style tourney. idk. idc. whatever it is, we need to settle this Larson Verstappen debate. loll
At the moment Indycar is a purer driver and spectator experience. So much more movement in their cars with the aero and tyre combination. It's obvious the drivers are working harder to push and maintain control and consistency. I say this as a lifelong F1 fan since the 70's.
There are 2 clearly different development open wheel ladders. One in the States for Indycar and the other in Europe for F1. They are mutually exclusive
Harv, test, test, test is the way to build a racer base. Karting is a great path, toned down trucks in Nascar could be a cheaper ? Entry building base. Promoting groups need to open up testing with cheaper vehicles to work with new guys.
F1 as an organization, and most of its stakeholders, when they have the chance, will eliminate Indycar of the market to be the open wheel series in United States. Liberty has tried repeatedly to buy Indycar and Penske has refused. So now they just wait and look how Indycar management makes its series irrelevant. It's a matter of time
Indy car racing is really spectacular to watch. I've been into NASCAR and Indy car racing my entire life. But I love all motor racing. I even watch the electric series cars of all discipline. Racing in general is fun to watch. It's how it's marketed and shown is where the success is or is not. I also watch American football and soccer. But racing is my first love. I'm in my 70's now and have seen a lot. Racing today is good. That being said, NASCAR and F1 is the best at being marketed. Larson in the Indy series is huge for a larger viewing audience for Indy. Hopefully, the TV executives get it right.
Zak is an amazing guy. His story is the American dream. But then Billy Joe Armstrong wrote a song “The American Dream is Killing Me”. Google says his net worth is 70 million 😂
It's a little funny that you say that. I watched f1 all my life. Started watching nascar this year and I'll tell you what, the NASCAR fan base has been way more toxic to me than anyone in f1 ever has lol.
@@christophergritti9873 I have followed F1 all my life and can confirm that most F1 fans feel like elitists. They always refer to Nigel Mansell when he came over and won "easily" but they fail to acknowledge that in 1994 he won nothing and there have been tons of F1 drivers coming over and have no success in IndyCars or NASCAR, they never talk about it. It was important that Alonso that year couldn't qualigy for Indy 500, I believe they suffered a lot. Perhaps it is changing now and at least good F1 fans can appreciate other motorsports as well.
OOPS! When talking about the McLaren development program, he forgot to mention F1 Academy Filipino/American driver Bianca Bustamante. I guess the F1 Academy is truly just a vanity project.
No one cares about that program because it’s a virtue signalling att it by f1. If a female driver is good enough she’ll get a drive in F2 & F3 like Sophia Floersch etc.
While I respect the drivers of F1, I find Indycar much more interesting and competitive. If I was a driver coming up, I while it would be cool to drive an F1 car just for the experience, if I had open wheel aspirations I'd be looking at Indycar without a doubt. I do not buy in to the elitist narrative about F1 drivers being the cream of the crop of all racing drivers, nor the series itself being the top series. The top drivers in a given series are all as good at what they do as the others, and that includes Supercars and the various forms of dirt racing as well.
It’s near impossible for a dirt driver or a Nascar driver to jump into an F1 car and do an 80 lap race without passing out half way into a race. The 5Gs those F1 machines pull in the corners and in braking areas would kill the driver first.
He just said there's less socialization, which is true in the vast majority of cases. Whether that's better or worse is probably going to be based more on the situation and the individual, but he didn't make a value judgment on that specifically.
@@nomadman5288 Home schooling has increased from the thousands to the multi millions of kids the last 20 years. There is 1) no proof of less socialization as there are plenty of co op programs plus outside activities and sports 2) there is also no evidence that the type of socialization in home school is worse. In fact its the contrary, public school kids have more mental health disorders, social anxiety issues, and of course violence in publics school is an epidemic.
@@JLock1987 The homeschooling he talks about differs from a kid homeschooled in a regular environment. Some of these kids literally never leave the track
It looks like you didn't get his message. The concept was not homeschooling, but rather that anyone who attends conventional school could train karting and be succesful at it.
I have followed f1 my entire life. Since the ealry 90's and I have watched like every NASCAR race for the past 10 years and can confirm that. NASCAR has had some boring races, and F1 some exciting. I would say there are more boring races in NASCAR than exciting in F1 and less exciting races in NASCAR than boring in F1.
What kind of crossover would you like to see between F1 and Nascar?

Awesome conversation!!!
Didn't think I would care for this interview, but that was a great interview!
Kevin you the freaking man for asking Zac about that ride swap thing 👌
Kevin has become a great journalist in a short time!!!
There are 2 clearly different development open wheel ladders. One in the States for Indycar and the other in Europe for F1. They are mutually exclusive
Zak should be the CEO of Indy. Car
There no " F1 vs Indy car" . One is global and the other is a small regional National series.
Which is which?
I see alot of ignorant Nascar people here.
When you are very young and being home school it will Effect your socialisation.

Hamlin will win

American dream that was mostly achieved in the UK.

Wouldn't not bringing it up every chance to show how "good" they are actually suggest the opposite of a vanity project?

Someone educate Zak on home schooling. My goodness, what ignorant statements.
