Mario Andretti has urged Haas to sign an American driver to increase exposure for Formula One in the United States.Haas is yet to confirm who will partner Romain Grosjean next season, with uncertainty over whether Esteban Gutierrez will be retained. Though young American driver Santino Ferrucci is signed on as a development driver Haas wants someone with experience for its second season in F1.Alexander Rossi, who won the Indy 500 as a rookie this year for Andrettis son Michaels team, was previously tipped as a candidate after five races for Manor in 2015 but he has signed on for another season of IndyCar. Andretti thinks Haas has a responsibility to grow the sport in the States.Speaking to ESPN about the lack of an American driver on the grid, Andretti said: Having an American team there, maybe some of that will change and I hope they do sign an American one day because I think you have a vast fanbase here in the United States. Even for Formula One, I think its understated. But I can see it really really magnifying if there was an American driver there, especially now theres the race at Circuit of the Americas.Alexander Rossi is one perfect example of one [American] talent being overlooked for some reason. Hes done very well in GP2 and all that, he knows the circuits very well and has the experience. But when youre not considered by a top team theres no way youre going to be able to show what you can do.Andretti thinks the lack of an American on the grid is a good argument for the introduction of guest drivers for team to run people with a local interest.My first Formula One race was with Ferrari as a third driver, a top team. Imagine if one of our talents, even Alexander, would have been invited by Mercedes to be third driver at some events it might have been another story, he might have shown differently.Now, having done quite a good season here in the States and having signed for another season with Michael, it looks like he didnt have any offers from a top teams [in F1].Team owner Gene Haas says there are no American drivers who fit the requirements he is looking for at the moment, suggesting he will only sign one after gaining the relevant experience at another team on the grid.If we had to do everything American, we wouldnt have enough money or enough time for anything, Haas told ESPN. Were here really to build a race team. If an American driver came along to have the pedigree to do this, yeah, we would seriously consider that. But at the moment, there arent any F1 drivers.Youre always looking for experience. Its a drivers market right now because weve lost two very experienced drivers and the newcomers really dont have much experiences. Theres lots of drivers out there but you take that chance of the unknown. Theres a lot of people that can compete well in GP3 and GP2. They qualify well but racing in Formula One is a whole different sport.Additional reporting by ESPNs Bob Pockrass Tobias Enstrom Jersey .

Edmonton Oilers forward Ales Hemsky shows off some sweet skills with some great moves, while Boston Bruins agitator, Brad Marchand displays some unexpected hands with his gorgeous effort. Ryan Smyth gets this POY entry started with a selfless pass to the streaking Hemsky. From there, Hemsky strings together a series of quick moves, turns Shane OBrien inside-out, blows past the stalled defender, and wraps it all up with a great finish. Certainly one of the fastest POY candidates weve had so far. In a great individual effort against the Buffalo Sabres, Marchand takes the puck off the half-boards and pushes towards the Sabres net. With a couple clever moves, Marchand is able to dust a flat-footed Tyler Myers, slide by another Sabres defender and make quick work a sprawling Ryan Miller. A pretty fantastic POY play for an agitator. You can watch the highlights and make your decision here (http://poy.tsn.ca). Every vote counts so watch all the plays and take part in the TSN.ca Play of the YYear Showdown.dddddddddddd Player facts: - Hemsky has battled injuries often in his career, but when hes healthy, he is a big producer. Hemsky led the Edmonton Oilers in each of the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 seasons in both assists and total points. - Marchand has had quite a solid 2012-13 season, leading the Boston Bruins in points (36) and goals (18). Marchand is one of only 11 NHL players who have scored two-or-more goals in a Stanley Cup Finals Game 7. Fun facts: - Back in 2005, during the NHL lockout, Hemsky was at a bar back in his native Czech Republic when he was stabbed in the left side of his neck with a broken beer bottle. In the end, he received 10-15 stitches and no permanent damage from the unprovoked attack. On a happier note, Hemsky holds Edmontons team record for fastest two goals in the regular season (seven seconds apart). - Marchand has a couple unusual nicknames, from Marshmont (which came from a radio station caller who mispronounced his name) to Nose Face Killah, the creative nicknames have stuck with him, but the name he is most often referred to amongst Bruin players is Honey Badger.
