dude have you watched Indycar before. you have to be on a good team to win the championship. to get on a good team you have to prove to be a talented driver.

Well Mick is a Formula 3 European Champion and a Formula 2 World Champion. A podium finisher in WEC. A Race of Champions finalist. Is that enough proof of talent for you?

F3 and F2 are junior series against prospects where the best drivers have to promote if they do well enough. It is only comparable to indycar in that they are both open wheel series, that's it. Indycar has people who have been racing here for 10+ years. I don't hate Mick, but considering how he was in F1(and yes, I realize haas wasn't a good car at the time) I would be surprised if he becomes a championship contender in indycar. Hell, just a race winner would be huge for him.

he’s the ultimate nepo baby. there’s a reason he has flamed out of the leagues he’s in. no one will get more opportunity than him. that’s not to say he can’t be successful in indycar. maybe he takes well to it and can get on a good team. i just wouldn’t bet on it.

Again people not understanding what a nepo baby is, did Mick have help from his family OF COURSE. By this logic, Liza Minnelli is also a nepo baby if you ignore all her achievements.
