mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 So if drivers will be American, I'd take Summerton and Kyle Busch with Graham Rahal testing.What about American racing experts in F1?? If so, Romain Dumas & Dario Franchitti with Scott Dixon as test driver! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted February 10, 2009 I would't do that either! You know I don't mind the humiliating job. I don't even mind the fact that you'll pay us with peanuts. But I think making us all wear silver catsuits is too much. And I don't like your sexist approach to the forum ladies. Their not just ornamental objects for your voyeuristic pleasure, geez! They have the same right as men, and they are just as able, if not better. So they can certainly work just like any of us at your factory. And wear silver catsuits.

If the drivers are to be american then they might as well just have a little campfire with all their cash instead (burning it). Hopefully common sense will prevail. Perhaps Sato & Jenson will be re-united. I doubt it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me paint a picture for you................ It's a bright, sunny day and we're all doing the jobs appointed to us by Abbas. Suddenly, a ray of sunshine hits your head..............it's beam is intensified due to the convex shape of your head and of course the special wax you use. 'Don't move Andres, D-O-N-T MOOOOOOO......................'. It's too late, you alter the angle of your dangle..............no wait, wrong thread....................you move your head and suddenly the intensified beam hits the first silver catsuit. Then it's like a chain reaction as the beam bounces off all the silver catsuits, explosions trailing in it's wake.............horrible, horrible deaths.............needless deaths................ No, my friend, red is the way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Rumble Strip 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2009 Don't get me wrong. People have oft talked that a true F1 World Championship would race everywhere, a point I think Bernie agrees with. Personally, I'm not bothered but is it feasible that a USA team would generate more interest in F1 in America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I'm not bothered but is it feasible that a USA team would generate more interest in F1 in America. I agree it would generate interest from a country, but what will the team gain other than a name? The F1 programe has to be feasible to the team. We have seen a couple of teams coming and saying how in future they want to be the worldchampions etc, but the next year they are bust and the team is sold. Considering the current economic situation even some private (billionare) owned teams' future seems to be in doubt. A new team will only keep losing money, lots of it unlike the old days, so the best way to stay in F1 is to be permenantly backed by a financially sound engine manufacturer and some liquor company .
