Mario Andretti is the only 1 I can think of and that was over 40 years ago. His son failed miserably on his attempt which shows that F1 is from a drivers pov quite a step up from indy cars (the other way around seems to be more chance of succes: F1 drivers that retire/switch to indycar).

I guess everyone is entitled to his own opinions but one of the first drivers who brought up the point was Ayrton Senna, not me.
