Man I really started something!

If you have no enemies

You have no character ! 

In Victory you deserve Champagne

In Defeat You Need It!

If you obey all the rules

You miss all the fun !

I agree with everything posted. Let's step back a bit and ask what sport really is; Its a substitute for the battle for survival. We no longer have to fight to eat and breed, so we watch others pretend to do so! As retired clYde says, we already have lots of organized sport for that. I mean, NASCAR is just the motorsport version of WWF. And American football is just the big males clashing horns in the meadow for breeding rights over the cheerleaders. What do we need F1 for? After all, F1 is about strategy and cunning, granted using sharp sticks, but not the evolution satisfying brutal battles that we already have.

I have only been to one race at COTA, but the stands were easily half filled with Mexicans, not Americans. Contrast that with the packed multi-million dollar football stadiums at all of the Texas HIGH SCHOOLS, each Friday night!

The US doesn't need Formula 1 and Formula 1 doesn't need the US. And one might even argue that today, no one actually 'needs' Formula 1 in its diluted, politically corect form.

Two cents please.
