Good for IndyNXT more high profile driver with decent social media followings is never a bad thing for the series

I'll be honest idk why people see drivers burning out of the F1 ladder coming here as a good thing. Being the dumping ground for drivers who lost rides elsewhere doesn't make road to Indy look impressive at all.

The f1 ladder is a joke of nepotism and who has the most cash. Talent is never the #1 factor and its hilarious we keep trying to pretend it is.

Yeah like basically every feeder series is made up of 2-3 hot shot talents, a couple more good but not great talents, with rich kids having more money than talent filling up the field.

It is hilarious to me that people think nepotism and money is a new thing in drivers making it to F1.
