Theo Pourchaire may be off racing in IndyCar at the moment, but the young Frechman has the talent to make it in F1, according to his former F2 boss...

ART’s F2 manager said he believes Theo Pourchaire deserves a shot in F1, as the young French driver has started racing in IndyCar.

In his first race in the American series, Pourchaire raced to 11th place from 22nd on the grid, settling in immediately and stating afterward that “the racing in IndyCar is amazing”. “His first season in F2 was good, and in the second season, we were a bit unlucky, probably under a bit too much pressure for him, and then it started to be a bit difficult.“He’s still very young, and … he’s in the top three guys you can have in junior series at the moment.”

While Pourchaire is arguably not at the top of any shopping lists due to the vast amounts of experience currently available on the driver market, he’s not completely without hope of being given an opportunity, and Guyot believes he has the talent to deliver if such an opportunity does arise.
