As in the real world, F1 drivers have to turn left and right, run uphill and downhill, including tricky off-camber curves, use the brakes (heavily), and keep driving even if it rains. A F1 car makes a Sprint Cup car look like it's standing still.....the accelleration is more in line with a superbike. While I do enjoy NASCAR, there is no doubt where the better drivers are.....F1. Bernie Ecelstone (sic) still runs F1, and he's following the money....thus, F1 is moving east, and dropping races in GB, Germany and so on. As for another USGP...don't hold your breath. Ecelstone says no more F1 at Indy.....I used to love going to Watkins Glen, but I guess a return isn't in the cards. Of course NASCAR still runs there, but those large cars look ridiculous lumbering around the track at 2-litre sports-car speeds.

Yep, LOL...my age is showing! Emerson Fittipaldi, Juan Fangio...it's the fathers, uncles, etc. with whom I'm familiar (but...I was still something of a kid...hahaha). Never met Stewart but was in line with him at some airport a few years ago...before he was made a Sir, I think. He is short, skinny, leathery and, frankly, was rather obnoxious. Think he let his ego run away with him. Pete, you know that's not true...nothing more boring than folks who don't "get" soccer OR Formula One. :) Oh, wait! Yes there is...NASCAR and NFL! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! I’m wondering if they changed the schedule…had read the first race of the 2008 season was to be Singapore, Maria. Yep, LOL…my age is showing!

I'm a bit out of touch with Formula One...lolol...remember being really interested as a kid around the time of Fittipaldi, Fangio, up through Stirling Moss, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart...haven't followed it lately (that would be quite a few years!)
