F1: The Germans are Back!!!!
Way to go Mercedes and BMW!!!! A total German podium!!!!! No french or Italians! I saw that Red Bull will have a new engine supplier next year. Which one is it? Honda is back for the next round, correct? Toyota is doing well and ford is gone, so it's looking up in F1. I'd still love to see a Porsche engine someday. I also saw how Jordan might be getting a new owner shortly.

Toyota has real form this season. Monaco wasn't really a course that their car could shine on, but Spa should be. I hope to see them do well at Indy for once. I've been wearing my Toyota hat the past few years, but they've shown nothing for it. Kimi may be excellent, but he's no fun to watch win. What a robot. At least, when Michael was winning everything, there were things you could love or hate about him.

Agreed
"Kimi may be excellent, but he's no fun to watch win. What a robot"
Ah....yep. When he DOES smile, it's like his face is in unfamiliar territory, and returns to "normal" very quickly. He discusses his latest win like someone relating the experience of a root canal. Odd....but the lad can sure drive! Michael always celebrates like each win might be his last. Of course, if McLaren and Renault and Toyota had their way..... Don

I really like McClaren-Mercedes because it's German powered and Warsteiner is the sponsor (The BEST beer; #1 in Germany Try it!). I like Heidfeld in the Willams-BMW as he is German in a German car. So I'm still in a toss up. F1 still needs more then 10 teams. Poor Minardi. ford lost a bundle and walked away. A Warsteiner sponsored McLaren-Porsche with Heidfeld or one of the Schues would be ideal!

This is likely Heidfeld's one and only chance at a decent drive. He's always been competent, but never stunning. Don't get me wrong, I like that he has a decent car for once, but it's not likely he'll have another.
Who else heard that Scott Speed was going to be driving Red Bull's third car during Friday practice here at the USGP? Awesome.

Yes, Prince Rainier died in April. There was a moment of silence before the race for him, and the podium ceremony was definitely subdued - the royal family wasn't even there to present the trophies. Scott Speed is going to drive Red Bull's 'third' car in Friday practice here at the USGP. Unfortunately I probably won't be there.

Now if we can get ford back in, GM to field a decent entry, and like I wish for, Porsche, it would be great, no awesome, to see a 26 or more car field!

I would love to see the USGP, its right before my birthday too! the more i watch F1 the less Nascar does it for me. mabye its because when they do pass its like a big deal, i sure do love the starts though, all close like that! gokarting is totaly copying ever thing from F1, so i guess i'll just have to move up to F1

The one thing that always bothered me about F1 was the elitism. When Schumacher leads every lap it's because of superior talent and equipment. When Jeff Burton did the unthinkable, and led every lap at New Hampshire a few years back, it was ripped as boring in Autoweek and other such pubs. NASCAR and F1 both have pros and cons. A true motor head likes ALL motorsports. I put myself in that group. NASCAR also has more then one pit stop, and when they do only 5 or 6 people do all the work. Pull into a F1 pit, and 12 people service a car that doesn't even get jacked up. There is room for both. U.S. open wheel, however, is a mess. IRL needs to do like NASACR and promote the drivers, not the teams. Who cares about Andretti-Green Racing? People want drivers to support. Where NASCAR shines is cars in the field, something for everyone. Anyone follow American LeMans? I like the new Daytona Prototypes. Lexus, Infinity, Porsche, Pontiac, and ford motors I believe. There may be a 6th.

Personaley, I will sometimes, watch about 10 mins of a Nascar race, but always turn it on for pretty much any rally event, FIA, SCCA, Dakar, Baja. I watch allot of F1, and genrale touring car races. I just cant stand watching people drive in a complete circle all day long. I dont know why, but it really seems to bring down the excitement and action of the race for me. |

The comment is meant to show lack of prejudice of one form over another. I like WRC and F1 and NASCAR. I don't blast NASCAR and call myself a F1 elitist like it's the only form of motorsport. But NASCAR has better RACING then F1. To each his own, but no artificial class levels here.
