    yeah, and newgen thats not really true, its been a few years since ferrari has been as dominant as they were back in the days of schuemacher(sp?) and barricello(sp?) many more teams have actually been qualifying well and placing well.

    Cant argue with that. But to me it just seems them and McClaren are the ones this year that are a little bit ahead of everyone else.

    thats usually the case regardless...they have more funding going into them because of the companies that they are. im honestly hoping that honda and toyota eventually step up their game and are true competitors to the championship, i dont know why they arent.

    well you think about it this way....out of all the manufactures that are in formula one, most of them are all either European companies/sponsors/or European Car manufactorers. For one thing, the idea of having GM in there wouldnt really happen. there too focused on things like nascar and the type or facing that america holds deer. crysler is already involved in F1 with mercades mclaren just not under the crysler name.

    oh and on top of that, with INDY there arent even any american manufacturors in IRL anymore. Chevy used to be in it but now all they use is honda. racing has died down in the United States. the only thing that is really holding strong is nascar and even then they speculate that the manufacturors that support most of the teams in that series might pull out in the next few years.

    Well... it kinda goes along with what Ran said. America has the NFL, europe and other countries have Futbol. I can't explain it... i'm by no means a wordsmith. But IMHO, F1 has a sort of heritage that only european (and some japanese) teams should be a part of. Even though i despise Nascar, It kinda goes along the same lines of most Nascar fans feeling that Toyota shouldn't be a part of Nascar... because it's always been an American motorsport with American manufacturers.

    there definetly trying to push it back into happening, not alot of the manufactores, especially honda an toyota are happy that F1 pulled out. because a big base of their cars that are sold are over here. so they want a race back over here. they are thinkin that it will be back in here next year or maybe the year after.
