If he doesn't get a F1 ride I'd like to see him come to Indycar. Brazilians have a history in the series (they've won more races than any other non-American narionality) but the pipeline seems to have dried up. The only full-time Brazilian in the series this year was Helio Castroneves and he's 47 years old.

There's a cause for that: lack of investment on the base categories. Car racing just became too expensive of a sport for people in a development country, even for the upper classes, so the focus mainly shifted to the Brazilian Stock Car series. It has a star field, with names like Tony Kanaan, Felipe Massa, and Rubens Barrichello racing there, but it isn't a formula series, and is a very different type of racing as well. As a Brazilian, I really, really hope for the day that another driver from here will reach F1 and win titles. Truth is, we got spoiled between the 70s and the 90s, and took the difficulty to reach F1 for granted.

Fun fact: Drugovich was offered by IndyCar teams a competitive seat (Most likely Chip Ganassi Racing after Alex Palou contract saga), but eventually turned it down.

I think the main issue is that teams want the next Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen, they want a generational talent so they either wait around for one or spend millions to try to develop their juniors into one. Winning F2 isnt enough anymore to prove that you belong in F1, its so competitive that you basically have to be dominant throughout your junior career just to get attention OR just have a shit ton of money to buy a backmarker seat lol

Yes Drugo won the title this year, but I don't think you should only look at points. All of the races he finished were mightily impressive especially when it came to tirewear. In every feature race he seemed to be able to extend a stint longer than his opponents which helped him gain positions many times.

If he's deadset on F1, Indycar won't do him any good. We know how Indy unfortunately does not translate to a full F1 ride. Absurd but true. Pietro Fittipaldi almost did it until Haas swooped in and signed Magnussen.

i think opinion on drugo is badly skewed by his year at uni-virtuosi. his debut year in f2 was incredibly impressive and he demolished all his mp teammates, and he's been unmatchable this year on his return to mp; sometimes bad moves just happen and it's a shame that year at uni has condemned him to being a "third year champion"

As a brazilian, i really hope he does have a shot sometime (and have success on F1). But i kind of understand why he doesn't have his chance now. Piastri got a way more successfull junior career and almost had to wait 2 years for a seat, Albon got some years out, DeVries is still without a seat... but when you see guys not performing well like GOATiffi and an improving Stroll, you get a little bit frustrated. Even Tsunoda and Mick could leave for new guys. But, maybe that's just my brazilian blood making the talk here. Let's hope new guys get good sponsors so they can make their way to F1.

11:41 Yeah let's not talk about De vries who just lost his F1 seat

Indycar gives the winner of the Indy Lights series a million dollars to take to a team and guarantees them a chance for at least three races in the main series the next year (one of which is the Indy 500). EDIT: I saw yesterday that Indycar is now only giving $500,000 to the Indy Lights champ and has removed that reward of guaranteeing 3 race. What a terrible change to make. That reward was responsible for many drivers deciding to give Indy Lights a chance. In fact 2023 was (is?) going to have the largest field in years with around 16 or 17 cars. I suspect the larger fields were a direct result of the rewards on offer. Linus Lundqvist, this year's chanpion, is a really good driver and absolutely deserves a chance at the big series for a few races. It's crazy to me to think he might not be able to get an Indycar seat at all because he absolutely deserves one.

The math on Mick Schumacher was easy and no secret: his famous last name brought money from sponsors (esp. German ones) along, which Haas needed badly at the time. Drivers selected for financial reasons rather than for talent should be less of an issue from now on with budget caps (though, in his case, I believe he actually has talent but needs to find the context to show it). I do believe that Drugovich is ready for a seat in F1. His beginnings may not have been as shiny as some, but he's put in the hours and he's grown a lot. And I totally agree that this year's F2 season was a proper fight in the top 5. Those who think it wasn't clearly haven't watched it and just flap their mouths after looking only at the results. The main reason talents from F3 and F2 don't get F1 seats right away is a question of timing in the structural changes F1 is going through: just too few of them, with some still occupied by pay drivers who jumped the line (on their way out soon, hopefully) and some old stars refusing to retire. As much as I love Alonso, he's not "at the peak of his career"---as he likes to repeat suspiciously often---he's well past it. Time to make room for the young. The perfect age for modern F1 is 20-35. Beyond that, your reflexes and reaction times become too slow, and your driving style settles and crystallizes, making you less able to adapt to new cars. Vettel knows it and has bowed out gracefully, proving once again to be the wise man of F1 (also, he might just be done with the FIA's bs, he doesn't even try to hide his feelings about their ineptitude anymore). Jury's still out on Hamilton and Ricciardo, let's give them a couple more years to confirm whether it's just the car. And hopefully, by 2026, we'll also have two more F1 teams i.e. 4 more seats 🤞

F1 is a whole different beast. F2 is like a youth team in Premier League football. Yeah, you can look good in that youth team against other youth players, but there is a higher chance that you will flop than make it when you get to the first team. So why should a team be forced to sign you by FIA law when they clearly are not impressed enough with you to sign you up ASAP? F1 teams are neither blind nor stupid. They have people monitoring the junior formulas week-in week-out. They know who they want or don't want. Just because you want your favorite junior driver to get a seat in F1 does not mean F1 teams should be obligated to sign him up. When a 37-year old Alonso who has lost his enthusiasm and motivation to continue driving in F1 can still annihilate an F2 champion in the same car on his way out of the sport in 2018, you have to question just how reliable the lower championships are in producing good enough drivers. Granted, Alonso is considered by many as one of the GOATs, but still, 37-years old and lost motivation and will to drive by any of the past F1 champions should be enough to match or at least not get destroyed (forget about beating) for an F2 champion if they are to be automatically granted a seat in F1, no? That's why you still cannot just say, "Oh he won F2. He should be automatically granted a seat in F1." Its not that straightforward.

It took months for people to notice Piastri, his name was barely mentioned in the last silly season, and it was a similar situation for de Vries, though to be fair, that year barely had a silly season. But, back to Drugovich, he definitely deserves a seat in F1, if Gasly moves on to Alpine, AlphaTauri should definitely be looking at him.

We forget, sometimes, that what matters for young athletes is how much they can improve. If otherwise, US college champs would always reach success in the pro series like NFL or NBA. What makes a good team in any sport is seek, identify, contract and develop them.

awesome video, i think heshould get a shot and will be interested to see what happens when he does

Part of the problem with finding seats for young deserving drivers is that the existing big teams are hell bent on making sure the grid size stays fixed to 20 cars. Toto and others claim it's to insure the integrity and sustainability of the sport, but that's clearly nonsense. The sport has continued for decades with teams coming and going. The entrenched teams are trying to insure their own sustainability, not the sports. The teams should never have been allowed a seat in deciding the rules for the sport. They will always attempt to rig the rules in their own favor at the expense of other teams. Bad incentives create bad behavior.

Yeah, they're being selfish. The real reason, as we both know, is money. If there are 11-12 teams, then that means slightly less money for each team. Although I think Andretti-Cadillac would add more value to the sport, which could make up for any "dilution" in the prize fund.

I'm not sure why everyone claims he's not that good, and they bring De Vries up as an example of someone who is good, even tho, he won F2 with a less competitive field and also with more then year of previous F2 experience, Drugovich did it with MP Motorsport, not the greatest F2 team in terms of setup etc. Whereas De Vries had the ART number 1 driver seat. De Vries has proven himself to be good with all this, so why is Drugovich, who had a more impressive F2 campaign, considered the lesser?

Dude looks like a Young Seb and kinda poetic that Seb is retiring and Felipe is an up and coming rookie

He should at least get a race weekend or two. Recent great benchmarks on how to do it as a rookie we have De Vries, Zhou and Tsunoda on how they performed in their first race weekend.

josh revell uploads 🤝 I watch and like its a simple life

Enzo fittipaldi is also doing great and I see a lot of future potential in him. Who knows maybe in a few years brazil might have 2 drivers

Wow the music during the sponsored segment really trew me off it's the brb music for my favorite streamer so I when I heard it I thought I had his stream open in some tab lol

heh. You used Nyck DeVries as an example in a lot of your videos, didn't you?

Omg that surfshack ad was smooth. Josh is a pro. Lmao

As a brazilian, its like a dream come true see him winning F2 title and give me hope of see a Brazilian in f1 again(being him, Enzo or someone else) especially with all the problems, political scams and tragedy we see here in our country. And about Drugo in Chip Ganassi, Tony Kanaan said that this rumors are fake and also Drugo said that he have interest in Indycar

É o Drugo não tem jeito

One month later Williams announce Sargent for 2023. This is not fair

It's kind of funny to see everyone talking about F2 drivers like Vips, Pourchaire, Lawson, Sargeant etc and say they should be in F1 but then turn around and say that F2 was weak this year when talking about Drugovich.

FINALLY, BRAZIL LOVES YOU JOSH

The best proposition I heard for promoting f2 champions to f1 was that the fia could finance the driver's f1 salary for the first year (up to a given threshold) to incentivize teams struggling for money to promote them. This doesn't force an f2 champ into f1 directly, but it does however encourage teams to give f2 champs the chance to see what they can do.

Even if you don't see Drugovich as a top talent, he got the poise, he's most ready and mature driver by far compared to his opponents.

You can put any driver in any category; they will took at least 3 seasons to reach their trully potential. But yes, there are exceptions like Piastri. He was brilliant so far. Lets see at a F1 seat.

It's about time we get another Brazilian in F1! This guy deserves it!

I would honestly love to see Drugovich at Alpine. They're a high enough team to give him a chance of impressing, & they still need a driver.

@@Bobby09LFC There was a Reddit post on the F1FeederSeries subreddit that tallied all cases of the car failing or someone crashing into the driver, and the end result was Drugovich still leading. For example, best case scenario for Pourchaire would be around 190 points, and around 160 for Doohan. The luckiest driver in all this is probably Fittipaldi, who had very little random events ruin his races.

This will never happen, but I think the FIA should provide a race team for the top F2 finisher without an F1 seat for two years. If they can't stay in F2, make sure they can at least experience F1

Yes, how a f2 champion don't get a seat? Piastri included, just show that have something wrong with the category!! Edit> No, in 2020 MP was mid team, and virtuosi have a preference to who pay more. This year with an mid grid team he obliterated everybody, his consistency and pace it's something to admire!

If he was Kiwi you’d love him. 🇦🇺

i have a idea. what if Feilpe will move into the williams seat, it was announced that king latifi will not be returning to williams. so feilpe does have a shot to move into that seat. we will have to wait and see.

My dream is to have rookie drivers in the sprint races (1 in each team). It would give a lot of opportunities, put pressure in veteran drivers and gives sprint races some meaning. (Of course points would count only for the Constructor Title and results would not defines main race starting order).

We need more teams and we need them now.

From What I ear on my national tv during the f2 races, is the fact That MP Motosport recruit all the big staff names in the category. And the reason why the car is very good that year. The 3 years of experience on is side before winning the championship isn't is biggest argument for a shot in f1. I think the car play a role in is final victory, but Felipe was a quick driver this year. Look is teamate to see that the car wasn't the only thing that allow him to win this year

MP hired Daniele Rossi from Prema in 2020, that explains how they improved, but they had many drivers since 2020 and no one was even close to Drugovich level (they had a worse year in 2021 so if it was all on the big staff name it makes no sense). Daniele himself saind many times that they learned together and Drugovich input in the technical side was very important.

Do a driver profile on Fittipaldi!

Even though it's completely onworkable and will never happen, I'd love to see a system whereby the F2 champ gets 'priority' on any vacant F1 seats.

the FIA really should offer some incentive for teams to give a drive to the F2 champ. Maybe a cash bonus that would help substitute sponsorship cash

Brazil has Gabriel bortoletto as well

Why don't they change the f2 season where it slightly lines up with silly season making it easier for teams to know who will win the championship and who is the best for the next season might mean less races though

Earlier this year, I honestly thought and predicted that he would be in McLaren next year

im having Bruno Junqueira flashbacks from 2000 all over again, help

It's a tough one. You can argue he's F2 champ. But de Vries was F2 champ and been waiting for his shot a hell of alot longer! For me if you're Williams you don't look at anyone else but one of them to partner Albono. Maybe Alpine should snap him up, take some revenge on them for them poaching Alonso.

It’s true that you need to put the guy in a formula one seat to really know how good he is. We all know about stellar junior that fail in F1. But they are also famous F1 driver who had average junior career like Prost and Lauda. F1 is so complex that a very intelligent but not crazy gifted driver can accomplish a lot.

I wish I could talk that fast

Alfa Romeo said they will have an announcement the 27th
