Rahal and Rahal...oh, oh.
So the worst kept secret in Indycar is pretty much fact. Graham will drive for Bobby. Um, I hope this isn't another of the "here we go again" with daddy backing sonny. Oh, their pr machine is trying to make it look like it's all on the professional up and up, but the fact is that this is another example of nepotism at it's finest. Graham lost his sponsor. Gnassi gave him the hook when he couldn't come up with a check (his results were also pitiful) and off we go again with daddy picking up the tab to keep the kid's career alive. I just hope it isn't another "Michael and Marco" show, but I guess we'll see, won't we?
life is always a crisis, for without crisis, there would be no excitement to life.

I think time will tell. I do not think the Ganassi situation was quite as one sided as you spelled out. I also think that Graham has showed himself to be somewhat more competitive than Marco. I also think Graham might think he is better than he really is. Last but not least though, I do not think he has found a "home" since NHR and right now going to the family team offers the best opportunity to find a home that will allow him to fully develop and potentially flourish as a driver.
That being said - I would say this is his last chance now....

If Conor Daly fails to make F1 he will be an Indycar driver with his father's backing. I for one don't feel any angst where Bobby stepping in to give a ride to his son.
Take the father son aspect out and this is a fine team. Sato ran well all season. However, he is overly aggressive.
Graham has already won and raced for two teams other than his dad's. What about Marco? Do you feel he would still have a ride if not for the name. His record is akin to the great Danica.

It is interesting though, that Redbull's performance dropped just after the regulations were updated. The amendment of Article 11.1.2 concerning asymmetric torque braking which helps to produce fast...
