American teenager Santino Ferrucci thinks it is unrealistic to target a quick jump to F1 in the next few years despite his two days of testing for Haas at Silverstone.The 18-year-old made history this week as the first American to drive an American F1 car since Danny Ongais raced for Penske at the 1977 Canadian Grand Prix. He accumulated 162 laps in the VF-16 over the two days.Gene Haas opted against hiring an American driver for the teams first F1 season but Ferruccis nationality makes him an obvious candidate for a future drive. However the teenager, who currently drives for DAMS in GP3, is wary of trying to make the jump too quickly.Quickly to F1 is out of the picture, Ive got a lot of learning to do, Ferrucci said about his outlook for the next few years. It just depends on how our season goes from here onwards well make a decision sometime after Spa, Monza. Hopefully we get to step up in GP2 but if not another season in GP3 never hurts.Max Verstappen has radically altered the perception of young drivers since his debut aged 17 last year, becoming F1s youngest-ever winner in Spain earlier this season. Ferrucci raced against Verstappen in his first season of open wheel racing, the 2014 European Formula 3 championship, and thinks comparisons with the Red Bull wonderkid are unfair.I think everyone will agree Max is special. I got to race against him in F3 so I can say hes a really good driver, really smart and really clever. To go from karting to F3 to F1 is something you dont see every day - the only other driver that comes to mind who did that was Kimi Raikkonen.Its probably not something in my plans, I prefer to progress a little bit more and be a bit more mature when I get in the car. No need to rush anything.He confirmed there are no further plans to drive the car in 2016 at present, though this could change if a date can be found which does not clash with his GP3 commitments. Pressed on whether one such opportunity could be Friday practice in Austin ahead of the U.S. Grand Prix, Ferrucci laughed and said: You never know!Ferruccis Silverstone test just days after he secured his first points of the GP3 season with a career-best drive to fourth position in the sprint race.

"It just felt like it was my time to move on," she said in a phone interview from her hometown of Burlington, Ont. This story appears in ESPN The Magazines September 5 NFL Preview Issue. Subscribe today!IT SOUNDS SO inconceivable, naive, delusional, but it was only a decade ago that Alex Rodriguez was the antidote to a ruinous generation of drugs and greed. He was the choice of the really smart baseball men, such as Theo Epstein and Brian Cashman, both of whom traded for him, and a paralyzed commissioner such as Bud Selig, who tolerated Barry Bonds holding the home run record because soon enough Rodriguez would shatter it and make the game whole again. He would make them clean.Alex Rodriguez only made it worse. The Golden Boy wasnt so golden after all. Following a bizarre week in which the Yankees held a retirement ceremony for him even though hed never announced he was quitting, Rodriguez was discarded without much care. Even the pregame celebration before his final game as a Yankee was curtailed by thunder, lightning and rain, fitting for those who found him less of a True Yankee than the rest. That wasnt thunder, former Yankees player and coach Lee Mazzilli said of the biblical thunderclaps that preceded the downpour. That was George. The Yankees 1996 championship team was being honored the next day, but for Rodriguezs night, only Mariano Rivera joined him on the field. Former teammates Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams and Derek Jeter were not present. Neither was his old manager, Joe Torre. Thats called a message pitch.Point the blame at Rodriguez, who admitted using PEDs, but no amount of reveling in his inglorious end can undo the enormous collaborative effort that has created baseballs current dystopia. Rodriguez, along with Bonds, Roger Clemens and Mark McGwire, is part of the Mount Rushmore of discredited legends that represents the true legacy of the steroid era: It isnt that they arent in Cooperstown. Its that nobody cares.The all-time home run list was once led by the most recognizable foursome in sports -- Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Frank Robinson. That leaderboard stood for nearly 30 years, until Bonds, who hit his 500th and 600th home runs just one season apart, passed Robinson in 2002. Sammy Sosa hit 60 home runs three times and won the home run title in exactly none of those years. While baseballl took the money and laughed at warnings that it was undermining itself, the consequences would be felt later, with Rodriguez amassing 3,000 hits, 2,000 runs and 2,000 RBIs -- something only Aaron had done -- but leaving the game utterly uncelebrated, inside baseball and especially out.ddddddddddddThe Rodriguez epitaph will be a one-sided story about the phenom who was part of the top millionth percentile of talent and blew it all. Yet Alex Rodriguez will in the end be no different from the industry in which he performed for the past two decades, a game that has lost its way, seemingly intent on undermining all that made it special.The game, like A-Rod, took the money (it is now close to a $10?billion industry), ignored the spread of steroids and lost out on the good stuff. Its records are now as worthless as those in the league it is so envious of, the NFL. It decides which team will host the most important games of the World Series based on an exhibition game. It plays its championship in the worst weather because its leaders refuse to compromise on money and adjust the schedule. It plays at least one game every day between teams that play under two sets of rules. And because baseball cannot decide whether it wants to be truly modern, the games leadership allows it to stand weakly in the middle, playing a full season of baseball, simultaneously rewarding and penalizing teams for not coming in first place by staging a one-game playoff, as if the baseball season were the NCAA tournament.Baseball wants the world to be proud of its drug-testing program. Meanwhile, it deals with an All-Star team of steroid-tainted players who thus far need a ticket to enter the Hall of Fame -- Bonds, Clemens, McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Gary Sheffield, Jason Giambi, Manny Ramirez and most certainly Rodriguez -- by disciplining virtually none of them and hiring nearly all -- laying the weight of accountability on the Baseball Writers Association of America. If not knowing himself was the self-destructive fatal flaw of Alex Rodriguez, it makes perfect sense that he felt so much at home playing major league baseball. ' ' '
