Gives you wings?
Well maybe it's a good thing that the bid failed then. I was never for customer cars to begin with, and I think that the right decision was made to scrap the idea, otherwise we'd have people like this guy who'd come in and undermine the efforts of the other teams who actually do take the effort to design and build their own cars.
Besides, his idea of running drivers who won in A1 is, well, crap to be honest. Looking through the current list of drivers, there is nobody who even comes close to deserving an F1 drive, which is mostly the reason why they're there to begin with. Maybe some guys have some potential and could use a season or two in GP2 first, but then there are others such as Yoong or Karthikeyen, both F1 rejects who struggled to perform at the level that F1 requires.
The aim of the project was to simply promote his A1 series, and F1 doesn't need that. F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport, and all the teams are striving to improve themselves and claim glory at the top. Some teams are already there, some other have a long way to go, but they're all pushing to improve themselves and get the results they desire. With that in mind, there's no place for Teixeira in F1. Stay home.

She can join the queue. I dont think she's anything special and any test she was given would merely be a publicity stunt on behalf of the team. If her name was Danny Patrick and her reproductive organs were on the outside, noone would look twice.

Patrick wants F1 test
Danica Patrick, who made history when she claimed her first IndyCar race win two weeks ago, has confessed to wanting a F1 test.
Patrick made her IndyCar debut in 2005, however, it wasn't until three years later, driving for Andretti Green Racing, that she claimed her first victory, winning the Indy Japan 300 and thereby becoming the first woman to win an IndyCar race.
The American is now hoping to test her skills in Formula One, admitting that she would relish a "proper" test with one of the teams.
"Every driver would love to drive a Formula One car at some point in their life, so yeah," she told Autosport. "I don't think there's anything wrong with a real, proper test.
"I was asked to do a demonstration lap at Indy in 2005, and I said, 'No way. You're making me a show. That's embarrassing.' But I would say that a real test is absolutely something I would do."
And one team who would welcome her testing with them is Honda. "We haven't instigated anything, but if Danica wanted to be test driver then we'd be more than happy to talk about it," Honda CEO Nick Fry said.
