While Ollie Bearman is expected to drive in F1 in 2025, Theo Pourchaire is deemed not good enough for IndyCar - "why?", asks Josh Sutil (lemm.ee)

[Josh Sutill] Ollie Bearman and Theo Pourchaire are both F4 champions, almost won F3 title as rookies and both won in rookie F2 year as 17 y/o. One is (rightly) destined for F1, the other is shunned by F1 + deemed not good enough to have his IndyCar contract respected despite performing well?

The "decent drive on unexpected debut due to appendicitis" route seems to be the best way on to the f1 grid at this point.

Do we know which of the current incumbents still have theirs? Obviously Sainz and Albon are accounted for.

Best way to get a drive but going by the past example, seats received through this route do not end up being a long term thing
