Sage Karam is a terrible driver.

No duh, he's like Maldonado (or Stroll) if Maldonado kicked puppies on his off time. Dude's a piece of poo poo. But he's also really good at getting to the front right before wrecking half the field.

If you're talking about real good Indycar drivers; Dixon, Power, Franchitti, and probably younger Castroneves and Kanaan could've done well elsewhere. Newgarden also seems to be the real deal, same with Pagenaud.

There are a fair share of F1 dropouts too, but being an F1 dropout only gives you a 50% chance of being absolutely fraudulent. Plus some drivers are just savants in one type of car (Bourdais).

He's not richer than Paolo Barilla.

Right, this is actually who i was thinking of.

Given Lance's age we'll go off of his dad's net worth which stands at 2.6 billion USD according to Forbes 2017.

Paolo Barilla stands at 1.46 billion USD Forbes 2017.

So, yah, Lance is the richest fucker ever. Barilla spins his pasta together with poverty as Lance does donuts around him in his dad's vintage Ferraris.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.

Is he the same sage karam that caused a big wreck at long beach in the IMSA series?

Yep. After a year of crashing and killing Justin Wilson (the indycar driver) he can basically only run gt3 cars and the 500.

Did Pastor get to keep any money (or at least enough to stay in Monaco?) Can he hire, say, an "A-Team" to go rescue El Hefe?

About half of the Indycar driver lineup could be slotted into any of the midpack F1 team seats tomorrow and nobody would bat an eyelid.

(Not counting the ones who have already been there I guess)

Staying out of F1 was probably Dario's best career move and bear in mind he was offered to be McLaren's test driver the year before they hit their stride.

lmao, or he could be the maverick he thinks he is by embracing the James Hunt lifestyle. He is one of the most gifted drivers on the grid, literally nothing is stopping him. Sponsors and teams are not going to not pay him whatever he wants because he is so much better than 18 of the other drivers currently in F1.

It's like those guys that get into bar fights and tell their friends to hold them back. loving fraud.
