For me, I would just prefer it to go to Karam.

I think Indycar has done a good job of promoting talent in the last couple of seasons - especially US talent with Newgarden, Daly, Rossi and now JR

So does Indycar.
Graham Rahal's done an outstanding good job with #15 car. He finished 5th in the driver's championship and was top Honda. I don't see what Servia can do to improve the #15 car as he won't actually be driving it and any further development on the DW 12 is now frozen. Also it's not clear if he will get a full or part time drive. If he is part time, any input will be sporadic.

If a 2nd Rahal car is about improving the prospects of Graham Rahal, then I would have thought that would be financial and allow the team to run on a bigger budget, which they will need anyway if they are going to run a second car.

Of course IndyCar does, it's owned and run by the IRL.
