It's almost impossible to compare drivers in different series, but I would argue it is fair to say
The top 10 Indycar drivers, would certainly do no worse than a Perez type in F1
The top 20 Indycar drivers could all aim for a podium at some stage during an Indy season
It's not quite perfect IMO, but the series is trying to walk the line between spec racing and a manufacturer arms race
Even at a high level, you've got 3 types of track - Street, Road, Oval and there is no Singabore or dry weather Monaco; hell even the corporate jewels retain the rough around the edges feel on track
If you are an F1 fan, then start off avoiding oval races in full - but watch some highlights (or have it on in the background) and that'll either hook you or it won't
