Rossi in for Chilton due to "contractual issues." AKA Chilton forgot to pay for his ride this weekend.

I'm ok with this.

Honest question: With a name like "Rossi," how many Americans will think he's Italian? We need an American driver named "Jones," or something. (Yeah, "Jones" is a Welsh name, but Americans don't know that.)

You need an American driver named Svensson or something.

how is Chilton going to wreck Bianchi if he's not racing? Bianchi must be thrilled.

They're at Spa so his fellow Frenchie might find a way to take care of business for Chilton.

Americans don't have a problem claiming Andretti (and he was born Italian), I doubt they would with Rossi.

Americans don't have a problem claiming Andretti

The American citizenship and Daytona 500 win helped.

I thought about that, but the Andretti family has been in the US so long now, and he's a household name. Even people who don't actively follow racing know the name.

Oooh, here's an idea. Get Alexander to drive for Williams and it would be....Martini & Rossi.

Grosjean better do it early before his car breaks.
