F1 shafts American drivers while USA sponsors line their pockets

Alexander Rossi passes Stoffel Vandoorne to win the 2015 Monza F2 race (then GP2). Rossi was ready for F1 and drove in several F1 races and showed well. But F1 and the American Haas team did nothing to help him get a good ride. There may never be another American in F1 at this rate.

U.S.Based Companies Lead The Way With 40 F1 Sponsors, Partners but zero American drivers are given a ride in F1.

It has to be the biggest middle digit salute in all of motorsports.

U.S. based companies are dominating in Formula 1, according to Spomotion Analytics.

There are more than 40 companies from the U.S. that are involved as partners and sponsors.

Mercedes F1 has the most U.S. based sponsors with 10. Most F1 sponsors are in the automotive, industry or technology categories.

There are eight watch brands with F1 partnerships, some of which, including Richard Mille, are involved with multiple teams.

Why do American companies back F1 without insisting American drivers be given a chance?

Force India has more than 40 partners, while Haas has three. The U.K., with 30 partners, is second behind the U.S., followed by Italy, with 16. Switzerland and Japan are tied for fourth, with 14 each, followed by Germany, with 12. Spomotion Analytics
