Anyone else here follow F1? Used to be on Speed now NBC sports network is carrying it. Not too popular here in the states but everywhere else these guys are super stars.

There is plenty of passing nowadays. Way more exciting than NASCAR where they throw out a safety car when a hot dog wrapper blows into the track.
Bahrain Grand Prix is coming on right now on NBC Sports. It's a tape delay since they showed the race live this am.
American Alexander Rossi scored a spot on the podium in the GP2 race there this weekend, he's also a test driver for the Caterham F1 team.
If Caterham has any brains, Rossi will be in a race seat for Austin this year. Their regular drivers aren't that great.
The US and F1 need two races in America in a bad way. With a race in Canada and South America that would give us 4 races in our time zones. Add in a race in Mexico and they would be golden.
You can't really blame Caterham. Their cars are so horrendous its almost laughable.
There was an article about F1 going to Lime Rock Park, but it was an April Fool's Joke and I got really depressed because that would probably be the best thing ever to happen to American auto-sport.
They would need to pour at least 50 mil into Lime Rock.
Do you have a link? I love that place, it's why I am into Motorsport.
if Kimi gets in a red bull next year, watch out Vettel.
He might. Webber is pretty much gone after he can't ever win, and he doesn't have team support. They always seem to go with whoever is winning more (Vettel!). But I would like to see Kimi in a Red Bull.
Yea it would be cool to see Kimi in a red bull and Vettel in anything else. Just to see how good of a driver Vettel really is.
Mclaren looks awful this year, Perez was the wrong driver for that spot. Force India looks like the 5th best team after Red bull, Lotus, Ferrari, Merc. At times this year Sutil has been the fastest driver on track. Look for him to get a podium sometime soon. I hate these 3 week breaks in between races, totally kills momentum.
Vettel won a race in a Toro Rosso. He is plenty good, and there is no one better about driver for one lap at this point. The first couple of laps last week was great, tons of excitement but then SV just went out and left everyone behind.
Having a kid made my wife give me a two hour limit to sports, so know I only really watch college basketball, F1, and Soccer. Kinda miss the Mets, but glad I can ignore the Jets.
