The FIA has already done that with F3, so we have several ‘regional’ championships in the same design of car, feeding into the FIA F3 championship that we see on the F1 undercard.
It might be possible to do the same with F2 cars, but previous attempts at championships with high-performance single-seaters have all failed to work financially, because there just isn’t the revenue that F1 or Indy can generate, and not enough people with deep pockets to fund themselves.
My point was more that they could replace Indy and have an Americas Formula One series.

No chance.Anyway, just speculating. If I was running Indycar I'd be worried.

Lots of noise/rumours that Vettel is quitting and being replaced by Alonso.
Nah. Ricciardo/Gasly makes more sense though as a rumor.

The reason there isn't a replacement for the Russian GP...

I said this in the Spain thread, but after Perez mouthing off about being sidelined for Max, I don't think he'll want to stay there in Max's shadow. I can see him walking like Ricciardo did and going to another team for 2023 if he gets shuffled back a few more times this season. Better to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond than in the same pond as Max/Horner/Marko. He's been in F1 a while now too, getting to the stage where he could be in with a newbie as the old hand teammate.
No way you give up a race winning car to be a leader in the midfield.Joey Deacon said:
Can we have a new 2023 silly season thread please?
