I am an Indycar fan too. Actually I am a fan before Indycar, CART and Champ Car days. I always enjoyed in the past seeing CART talent go to F1. I was a big JPM fan back in the day.

Yes, he will get to test his talent against Bottas. A veteran driver on the F1 grid and a great teammate to learn from. If he shines against Bottas, he can get another ride.
He is 21. He can literally go spend however many years in F1 and come home to race in Indycar for decades more. Helio is 46 years old and just signed for a full Indycar season next year.

I don't think that is Colton's mindset at all, just an outsiders view of the matter(nothing to lose). Colton I am sure is overloaded with confidence, being young and hungry. His dad has been prepping him to race his entire life...an American version Max and his dad.
