Should some of the top F1 teams take a serious look at Sam !
from Sam's interview:
Q: What kind of, without giving away any information that you do not want to, what kind of appeal does stock car racing hold for you?
Hornish: Every form of racing out there holds some kind of appeal to me, whether it be Formula 1, stock car, even the drag racing. They all have their certain things. NASCAR has the Brickyard 400, which is about the closest thing you can do to winning the Indianapolis 500, other than winning the Indy 500. They have the Daytona 500. Each kind of racing, you can run a dragster, and you can go over 300 miles an hour. Hey, that is a pretty rewarding thing, too. There are not a whole lot of people in the world that can say they have done that. Formula 1, I’d love competing against those guys. The IRL, winning the Indy 500, you know, winning more races than anybody. No matter what kind of racing I look at, I always look at from the fact that if I was going to do that kind of racing, how can I go and do it and set myself apart from the other drivers that have been there before?
Q: You were just absolutely awesome, but then you have been awesome all year with inferior engine power, so what can I say? Beyond that, you did mention that you are looking at a lot of different things. Have you had any inquiries from any Formula 1 teams or any talk about testing?
Hornish: No, I have not.
Q: Would you be interested in it if it were available to you?
Hornish: I will look at any opportunity with a very closely. Very closely, I would look at any kind of opportunity. That one has not been presented to me yet.
Q: You would look at it, but you have had nothing at this point?
Hornish: Nope.
Q: Well, I hope they figure out that you are that good and give you a test at some point.
Hornish: Thank you.
