    That guy is a bit of a weiner. I like him! I like the Minardi quote "Minardi are the likeable underdogs of Formula One – in other words they will never ever win anything as long as I’ve got a hole in my arse."

    And the Williams quote "Juan-Pablo Montoya, a fiery Colombian who came to F1 after winning the CART “we drive in circles” championship in the US, and who has since spent most of his time swearing and whinging about not being as good as Michael Schumacher, and Ralf “Little Brother” Schumacher, who is still making ridiculous salary demands despite being rather ****.

    And the Ferrari quote "Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, or “Ferrari” as they’re known to anyone who anyone who won’t get shouted at by sponsors, are currently the best team on the grid. The team is presided over by Luca Montezuma (or something) and Jean Todt, a small Frenchman who bears an uncanny resemblance to Napoleon, although nobody has yet discovered his penis in a jar of embalming fluid. They have enjoyed something of a renaissance (but without the poofy paintings) since the arrival of Michael Schumacher in 1996, whose pointy-chinned Teutonic ruthlessness has turned the team into the unstoppable leviathan of racing that it is today. To be frank, everyone else might as well stay home and watch it on TV, to help the viewing figures. Their other driver is Rubens Barrichello, a small happy balding Brazilian, whose entire purpose in life seems to be to make Schumacher look good.

    I didn't write it, I'm not spamming. Just pointing out some humor.
    I'm not being paid for this, so get off my back.
    Don't send me letters stating how much you hate or love F1 because I don't care about you.
    I'm not the anti-juan or the Anti-Michael, I'm just the anti-juan.
    Don't take anything personal, because I still don't like you.
    I'm going to bed now, because I work for a living, so don't reply to my post.
    Good night.
    Unless you are on the east coast.
    Wait, I'm on the east coast.
    Ok, if you are overseas, goodnight.
    But Hongkong is like 16 hours ahead of me so it's like, good day and a half ahead of me.
    I think I will take a page out of juan montoyas book and crash now. "Because there isn't anything else I can do."

    That is quite some hilarious stuff, especially all the Ferrari lines. Spot on!

    I would disagree with the description of CART though: I always liked CART because they actually do ovals, road courses and street courses. It is IRL and NECKAR that just turns left. I would even welcome a couple of oval and more street courses in F1 just to keep the mix interesting.

    Anyway, thanks for posting this.

    I'm sorry... did you just say there's something interesting about turning left for two hours... about a 500 mile banked sweeper?

    ;)

    After all the turn left bashing from my side I probably need to explain this one: I for one would actually love to see F1 race on an oval, actually ideally the Indy oval. Doesn't have to be for 500 miles, but maybe half of that. However under F1 rules, meaning they'd race even in the rain.

    Aside from the rain I'd just love to see a F1 run on a different kind of track. I bet they'd get a kick out of it themselves. And the F1 cars running almost no rear wings would probably be just as fast if not faster than IRL or CART.

    Kinda like the saying goes: When in Indy, do as the "Indians" do.

    I realize it'll never happen, but it is the thing I respected CART for: Doing it all, oval, road and street course. Heck, I even like NECKAR when they do a road race once in a blue moon.

    PS: There was a time when F1 cars ran at Indy, through all four corners of the real track. Or at least could have if they were willing to as it counted for the F1 WC. Remember that Ferrari single seater in the Indy museum?
