Why drivers should try life outside F1
Last year Nico Hulkenberg won the Le Mans 24 Hours. Last weekend Alexander Rossi triumphed in the Indianapolis 500. Why aren't more drivers trying life outside of the Formula 1 bubble?
Alexander Rossi's shock victory in the Indianapolis 500 was yet more proof that drivers, if they have sufficient time and drive to do so, can escape the Formula 1 bubble and enjoy the sweet taste of success.
