"It has been a pleasure to have Marco Andretti with
us this week and to give him a further opportunity in
the 2006 car," said Honda F1′s engineering director
Jacky Eeckelaert.
"Once again Marco has shown a high level of ability,
given his relative inexperience, and his long run pace
in particular was quite impressive … and adapted
very well to the difficult track conditions without
making any mistakes," he continued.

"This week’s more ambitious test appears a serious effort
to develop the driver, who turns twenty next month, and
ready him for an eventual move to F1. The fact he’s in
the same car at the same circuit, simulating race starts
and driving at his best pace in wet and windy conditions,
lends even more credence to the proposition … it is
becoming apparent that the nineteen year-old and his
doting parental and grand-parental advisor will have
to make a decision in the not too distant future about
Marco’s eventual career plans."
"Quite conceivably there is a regular F1 driver’s seat
for him coming in 2009 following a year of testing and
development in 2008, although that schedule could, and
would, be accelerated if significant driver improvement
in the American series or opportunity presented itself."

Marco Andretti – the IRL’s youngest and least
experienced driver is undeniably destined for F1.
