I'm sorry, do you expect them to prep a driver to compete in F1 in less
than 6 weeks? And do you think the teams just go along with this sort
of publicity stunt? I think they have other considerations than making
us in the States feel good...
Go ahead and be shamed. I prefer not be so nationalistic in my
thinking...

-Well, am I correct in saying it's better to have a quality American F1
driver....Rather than an Americanized Pedro Diniz?

In any event, keep this bullshit out of ras. If you want to vent your
frustrations, go slag GP3 or F12K or something.

Why? If Blair came on your telly and made remarks about the US,
wouldn't you want your say? And as far as I'm concerned, anyone who
wants to is free to make remarks about our politicians - no point in
being insular. (I can just see Bruce rushing in to say, "well, Great
Britain *has* to be insular, doesn't it? <g>)
See my above point re what he was actually saying...
Yes, I agree this is the wrong place for political argument, and I
apologise for that. I should have been in rasf1...
