Four of the American hopefuls that have been mooted as potential USF1drivers when the 𒁏new team makes its debut in the top flight - possibly as early as 2010 - have revealed their thoughts on the matter🌄. Not all of them are entirely convinced.

NASCAR stars A.J. Allmendinger and man-of-the-moment Kyle Busch both professed themselves open to the new venture, with the former seeking to clarify previous quotes suggesting he was not i🤪nterested in racing the other side of the Pond.

"Something that I've learned in racing is that you never say no to anything," the Red Bull-backed ace told Paddock Talk, whilst admitting that his main priori♛ty remains NASCAR. "You leave every option open that you can - I'm never going to shut the d𓆏oor on anything."

Busch's agent, meanwhile, added that the Joe Gibbs Racing star - who just days ago achieved a NASCAR firꦯst in triumphing in both the Nationwide Series and Truck Series at the same track and on the same weekend - would 'certainly leave the door open' to try Formula 1 'at some point'.

However, despite having been similarly mentioned in connection with the Charlotte, North Carolina-based project, IndyCar front-runners Danica Patrick and Marco Andretti were somewhat more lukewarm about the prospect, with open-wheeled competition's first-ever female race-winner revealing that F1 isn't 'No. 1' on her list - whilst conceding in an interview with the Indianapolis Star that 'conversation never killed anyone'.

"I'm very flattered to be thought of, for sure," IndyCar's poster girl added. "Formula 1 𒁃is a very competitive platform, but I don't necessarily know why no-one ever spoke t💦o me.

"It's not like they contacted m👍e and I gavꦡe them the 'oh yeah, that sounds very interesting'. I never heard from anyone."

"It would be risky because it's such a new team," mused Andretti, whose grandfather Mario - 1978 F1 World Champion - suggested the 21-year-old would be ideal for the grand prix grid [see separate story - 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:click here]. "That's all I would say."
