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.
