| Posted By: Snrub Posted On: Jun 19, 2005 Views: 695 | US Formula 1 Grand Prix I just finished watching the joke of an F1 GP. I dont think ANYONE would want to be a F1 driver in the States at the moment (having said that there are only 6 drives anyway!!!!). North America is such a huge market for BMW, Mercedes, Reneault etc... how could this happen? |

| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: Jun 20, 2005 Views: 658 | RE: US Formula 1 Grand Prix chicane, that is how you spell that? I never thought about it, but it is such a cool word, and I like chicanes! I prefer motorcycle racing, but not dirt bike, superbikes. |
| Posted By: Snrub Posted On: Jun 20, 2005 Views: 647 | RE: US Formula 1 Grand Prix GUW, does (Aissue) Matt Mladin still ride superbikes in the states?. I remember when he was riding here as a young man he won everything by a mile, a real talent. And back to F1, I see that the teams that couldnt (or didnt) race may be charged with bringing the sport into disrepute. This is the most absurd underhanded power struggle ever. The choices were simple a)allow Michelin teams to use different tyres or b) put a chicane on the last turn. ALL of the Michelin teams agreed that in the case of a or b they would forego any championship points - so why couldnt the race go on with all 20 cars? |
| Posted By: GirlUWant Posted On: Jun 21, 2005 Views: 635 | RE: US Formula 1 Grand Prix I remember him racing, but I have no idea if he still races. I don't keep up with that anymore since I am not married to a motorcycle freak anymore! He would be pretty old for a motorcycle racer, wouldn't he? They usually have way shorter careers than car racers. |

I, for one would LOVE to see an American (Such as Scott Speed) drive competitively again in the sport. |
