Maybe he wants out.
When CART used to come to Portland, and JPM was with Ganassi, no one had better throttle control. Head and shoulders above everyone else in the field, and this is when CART was at its peak and the fields were full of great drivers and there were plenty of big-budget teams.

Nobody but him knows what really happened to him and his psyche in F1 and obviously NASCAR has been a disaster for his legacy, but when he was going through the double-apex sweeper at PIR, it was a sight (and sound) to behold.
