NEWS STORY
25/02/2009

With the USF1 project taking another step towards reality yesterday, all attention turns to the matter of driver - though there is also keen interest in where the funding and engines will come from, amongst other things.

Just over a week ago, Indy Car racer Danica Patrick claimed not to know anything about USF1, at a time when many were linking her with the project and one British journalist actually went so far as to say the 26-year-old would represent a "lifeline" for the "flagging" series.

Following yesterday's online press conference, when a number of drivers, including Patrick, were mentioned by team bosses Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor, the Indy Car driver has admitted that she might be interested.

"F1 is not No. 1 on my list," she told the Indy Star, "but a conversation never killed anyone."

Speaking yesterday, Windsor and Anderson admitted that Marco Andretti is on their 'wish list' as are Kyle Busch and Graham Rahal.
