Where he will likely make more money. It’s really difficult and financially unsound for most American drivers to go to Formula 1, unfortunately. Largely because they would need to be in Europe or Asia coming up, because there aren’t any good US junior series -> F1 pipelines.
Hell, you could be a prodigy who gets 1st in Indy NXT and then 3rd in your rookie IndyCar season and you wouldn’t have enough super license points to go to Formula 1. And even if you did well enough over three seasons to earn a super license, F1 teams wouldn’t pay you nearly what IndyCar teams would because you’d be relatively unknown. And you’d be in a garbage backmarker car.
Meanwhile if you’re good you can earn big money and win races in IndyCar rather than putzing around in the backmarkers in F1 (like Rossi, who went from scoring no points in a shitty Marussia in 2014-2015 to winning the Indy 500 in 2016).
