Maybe it's to see what sort of unintended consequences Mosely & Co can create with their constant tinkering with the regulations.
Funny enough, the race was fantastic and they seem to have gotten it right for once. Let's hope they stop messing with it for a while

Smile F-1 is there anything else?

1- F-1 & ALMS. Both are showcases for high tech.

2- All the time. I also tape them to enjoy them later.

3- On TV I watched F-1 whenever it was televised. On speed tv I watch it all the time. In person I watched GP racing at the 1957 GP of Habana. Saw Fangio win, Stirling Moss and Marques de Portago as a kid with my father. It was loud and no ads on cars at the time. Lots of Ferrari's, Maserati's and Alfa's. Next time at Watkins Glens when Alan Jones became champion with a Saudia- Williams. Ferrari was no good then. I attend the GP of Canada in June. I take my son and son in-law.

4- Drivers I enjoyed watching would say: Fangio, Senna, Schumacher, Raikkomen & Giles Villenueve, the father. Can not forget the GP of France in the eighties and watch Villenueve in his #27 Ferrari go wheel to wheel with Rene Arnoux in a turbo Renault for second place. They banged wheels at 200 mph on a long straightway. Arnoux conceded the position to Villaneuve ended in third. Teams, I like Ferrari, Williams, McLaren, Audi in ALMS series,

5- Nascar & IRL. Have total disdain for going around in a circle.

Any race I can see...

almost religiously for 4 years, but off and on before that

4-who is your favorite driver/team

Kimi Raikkonen and McLaren Mercedes, and now Transnet racing since I'm working for them

5-what is your least favorite formula

NASCAR... even more after the blatant disrespect that Jimmy Spencer showed to the F1 drivers during the commentary before the NASCAR race..

Me driving - DE . I have thought about going to one of the 2 day race license schools. I have a b'day in June (Randall seemed to do pretty good on the b'day haul) so maybe I'll go for it.
