This might annoy a few Americans, but if I had to choose between Romain Grosjean and Alexander Rossi to lead Haas F1, I'd go with the Frenchman every time.
"There's nobody out there at the moment," Gunter Steiner said when he ruled out the possibility of having an American driver for the American-owned team's inaugural season next year. And when you consider the specific needs of a fledgling team, he's right.
History would suggest that Haas is going to have enough stacked against it next year as it is; going down the A1GP route of selecting a driver based on their passport would be at best precarious, and at worst idiotic.
