It'll be nice to continue having two Grands Prix in North America, although Indianapolis has never been my favorite track...

Have just had a look at what he has been up to this year and he certainly has won a few races. Originally from France. Could be interesting if he was interested in F1.

He hasn't much left to prove in the States. One would think a frenchman might be a tad interested in driving for Renault :wink:
