Marco would need a season's preparation to truly contest the GP2 title. He'd have no circuit knowledge or experience of racing in Europe. He's made good progress in the IRL considering his youth compared to the other drivers, but a handful of road/street races and a couple of tests is nowhere near enough to be prepared for F1. I know this is a thorny subject, but I'd take issue with the idea of the IRL having better road/street racers than ChampCar - Bourdais, Wilson, Doornbos and Jani in particular have all shone in F3000 or GP2.
