Former Manor driver Max Chilton says Formula One teams are guilty of passing up on top-quality talent in IndyCar because of a fixation on junior categories in Europe.
At the weekend, several of Chilton's IndyCar rivals tweeted their frustration at F1's only American outfit, Haas, for comments made by team boss Guenther Steiner about no home-grown talents being on the team's list of candidates for a future race seat. U.S. racing legend Mario Andretti, the 1978 world champion, called the team "wrong and arrogant" for its stance.
Haas boss Steiner previously revealed his apprehension about signing American talent last year after 2017 IndyCar champion Josef Newgarden revealed a desire to contest at least one season in F1 before he retires.
