F1 Redux
After an incredibly boring Nascar Cup race this weekend, the onus of comedy fell on F1's US Grand Prix. Well, they came through with flying colors, with 7 teams (or 14 drivers) out of the field of 20 cars not running. Here's what you can expect:
--Every two-bit sports writer will come out with a column about how horrible F1's actions were, despite the fact that they haven't watched an F1 race since Phil Hill was active.
--You'll hear "this would never happen in Nascar" about 14 times. All of those articles will be framed in Mike Helton's office.
--This will be the most publicity Renault's got since the Alliance.
--CART will still be one of the crappiest race series around, with the IRL not far behind.
--If such a problem occurs during the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard (yes, that's its name now), expect Fatback McSwain to go on and on and on and on about how much Goodyear sucks.
--And finally, Michelin gives us yet another reason to hate the French.

Great entry.
Everyone will come out of the woodwork here in the States about how F1 sucks and how NASCAR would never allow such a thing and all that mess.
Not only is it already old but the fact remains that F1 hardly wanted this to happen. You can give a great big thank you to Michelin.
Can I get an AMEN!
Hmmm I thought the Champ Car race this past weekend was about 50 times more interesting then the snorefest in Pocono. Can't stand the NASCAR arrogance.
