There are certainly some prospects, but they need to have been in the correct racing environment. The US isn't exactly a great place to groom an F1 driver. Meaning they have to have spent extensive time racing in Europe or Asia in the open wheel series.
And if you were pointing toward Marco Andretti, I highly doubt he has what it takes to be competitive in F1, regardless of the package.
Are there any American in GP2 or going to be any in F2?
What prospects are there Z_F?
There were a few standouts in GP2. They don't carry that "I'm better than you" stigma because of their last name or their exploits in other series.
Despite this, I wouldn't be surprised if the team signs Danica Patrick, merely for generating the interest from the public and potential sponsors. And to add to the circus
It ended poorly when Prost and Peugeot tried back in the days. Nationalism doesn't work in motorsports imo.
Ferrari, or better, the TIfosi, would like to have an Italian or even both since...ever, but they did it just in some weird experiments, like Ivan Capelli (commenting GPs for the national television since some years) in the first nineties. Despite Fisichella winning a race (ahaha, kidding, no wait...) and Trulli being (sometimes) consistent, Italy lacks of a good driver since a lot of time, and Ferrari keeps playing with foreign and faster folks. still they ads a lot the made in Italy thingy even when the team is managed and held by foreign people, but that's a problem of us, sorry folks

I see your point but the cultures of America and Italy are rather different and I think it'd lend to a larger fanbase if said USF1 did well. If your average American turns on an F1 race, what they'll see is:
- No American Manufacturers
- No American Drivers
- No American Circuits
- A lot of unknown sponsors.
Most Americans are really jingoistic and need to reaffirm that in a sport as they won't take well to Frenchies or Brits winning races when the good ol' US of A isn't represented. With solid financial backing, competetive equipment/drivers, and media outreach/advertising for a US race.. this can only be a good thing. The only coverage we have now is a 2 - 4 race span on CBS or FOX with the rest of the season playing on Speed Channel. Most people don't get speed channel and aren't bothered to watch a 2 hr race on Sunday afternoons while NASCAR is on if they have no idea what's going on.

well, I would really like if a new team entered the competition, and I don't care if is backed by some tobacco's company, an oil company or a bunch of folks from the same country.
also, it would bring some fresh air with a team that, like RBR and STR, could act in a different way both inside and outside the track, rather than the old lawyer look we are getting from McLaren, Ferrari and so on.
perhaps even some good rednecks from Nascar would be something interesting to look at

The Jordan F1 mechanics also dressed up the fueling rig in different costumes and played pranks on everyone.
Too bad F1 is so serious now
Nobody's mentioned yet, but STR have confirmed Bourdais in the 2nd seat alongside Buemi.
