Sure is. And Kimi or Alonso are not flash in the pans, but Ferrari's future pilots. I'd be happy to see either of them taking over from the Grandmaster.
Your point well taken. Nonetheless, I think there are more Tifosi than Alonso fans, and Monaco's attendance is really not at issue because of its unique "play-ground" atmosphere. And, no way will the driver Speed have much of an impact on attendance at Indianapolis. There will be more Montoya fans from Columbia at the U.S. G.P. than fans of any U.S. driver.
