Thanks for sharing the article.
It's nice that F1 drivers are considering IndyCar as a decent series to
go to post-F1. I just wish that the FIA start treating IndyCar drivers
in a similar manner that they would treat F1 drivers. It would be nice
to see those two series constantly cross with each other.

I am glad to hear you appreciated it.

I liked a number of the old rules and realities better.
For example in the 1960's and 70's and 80's teams had much more
freedom of choice.
Mario Andretti had done well in US in USAC racing.
In 1968 Team Lotus invited Mario to drive one of their
cars in the US GP, and he did. In 1969 he drove in 3 F1 WDC races.
In 1970 he drove a STP Corporation March in 5 races and
finished 3rd in Spain.
In 1971 he was invited to drive a Ferrari, and won the South Africian GP. He gradually did more F1
races and won the WDC in a Lotus in 1978.
That progression could not be done now.
A recent irritation is that Simona DeSilvestro was doing well in
Indycar, but then got offered a test driver position in F1,
and it just seemed like they took advantage of her time and
contracts with fool's gold promises.

That's not how her Wikipedia bio reads: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simona_de_Silvestro>
Her best season finish in Indycars over 4 (full) seasons was 13th. She
then spent a year as an F1 test driver then didn't immediately go back
to Indycars but went instead to Formula E and Aussie Supercars. She
didn't return to Indycars for 6 years, going back (part-time) in 2021.
