Esteban Gutierrez could be close to announcing his plans for 2016. This year, after the Mexican lost his Sauber race seat, he signed up to be Ferrari's reserve driver.
And now it is reported the 24-year-old's next step could be to the new Ferrari-linked American entrant Haas, backed by his powerful Mexican sponsors. Gutierrez wrote on Facebook: "This weekend I had an important meeting which will have a big repercussion in my professional life. Nothing that comes in my way will stop me, neither will change the person who I have the fortune of being," he added. (GMM)

He sure has the right cards: being a Ferrari reserve driver and a Mexican. Would bring extra people to the USA and Mexico races, and more sponsors and fans for Haas.
And don't get me wrong, no offense at all, but since there are no experienced American F1 drivers at the moment I guess a Mexican is the next best thing ;)
