A good idea...
Fisher has been out of work since the Kroger grocery chain withdrew its Walker Racing sponsorship after last season. When another sponsor failed to materialize, Fisher asked Walker to release her from her contract. At the moment the deal is only for the Indianapolis 500 and it might be a good idea if Formula 1 went to have a word.
The sport has been looking for a young American for some time and a woman would be an added bonus at a time when the sport is trying to get a little more excitement into the racing...
Fisher was the youngest person ever to compete in IRL back in 2000 and her best result to date was second at Homestead.
No doubt out there somewhere are sponsors who would be interested in backing an American woman on the world stage...
