Funny thing. When foreign politicians get this money/gifts/vacations/etc. we call them corrupt. But here in the US it is perfectly legal lobbying.

Yes you are, but at a recod breaking pace. So cheer up.

My grandfather used to work for the IOC and he gave my brother a 3' tall furry Misha. The arms were articulates at the shoulders, not sure about the legs.

The Florida Highway Patrol calls Vance a habitual traffic offender. The 31-year-old has been charged with leaving the scene of a crash and aggravated battery.

Sometimes I think we are our worst enemies. By we I mean can enthusiasts.

I just saw it last week and it still not great... or good at all.

Yes I know. But that doesn’t explain why those other paid drivers have been able to come up with money and Rossi didn’t. After all Rossi comes from the richest country in the planet, sure somebody has some cash to spare.

This is an issue that really pisses me off. In a country with 315 million people and with some of the richest and largest companies in the world, we should have a handful of American drivers if F1.

That explains what those guys made it. It does not explain why Rossi did not get sponsorship. Crappy manager, conspiracy against Americans, all the good ones were taken, why?

I understand that better than you think. I know about Rossi and the lack of sponsorship financing. But everybody has failed to explain WHY he did not secure financing when drivers like Sainz, Ericsson, Nasr, Vestapen, etc.

YOU are the one using curse words. Not me.

Schumacher qualified the Jordan in 7th position on his first race. He did not crash, he retired with a clutch problem.

I agree. He was fast, but inconsistent and overly aggressive.

No need to bring your mom here.

Keep repeating it. It may become true.

I have been following F1 since the 70's as well, and I remember the greats coming up the ranks. An sorry, but I do not think Rossi is it.

Not in a million years. Otherwise he would be in F1.

How do you think they ended up there? That’s right they won many championships when the opportunity presented.

You really believe JPM can do it now? Get real. He is one of the best drivers of have seen, but he is past his prime.

I never say he did not. But once in Toleman he showed his talent. Soon after he got picked by Lotus. Rossi did not impressed anybody in F1.
