No need to be touchy. I didn't report it as fact; there
was talk of it happening. Will it happen?
Nope. KV confirmed at Chevrolet today, and likely back with Kanaan and Sato. Third car possible for Viso.
But it was being talked about. Penske have not re-signed Castroneves yet. I don't make things up, and I do my best not to report rumor as fact.

Lotus may not make the grid, there certainly are doubts, but we'll see.
KV didn't like Lotus going with Judd instead of Cosworth; that's why KV cut ties with them. The Lotus funding was a lot less money than it looks like anyway.

The only thing Hunter-Reay is missing? A personality. Most people won't blindly support an American driver just because he's American; his whining and "I'm never to blame" attitude really put a lot of people off. Wheldon, on the other hand, has a great personality. Americans aren't xenophobic, even if the people at TrackForum are. They're a bad representation of the target fan-base. Guys like Wheldon and Power can really sell here. Especially because they're winners, and because Americans like certain accents.
