What did you like about the F1 race yesterday in Italy? NO Nascar!?

It was one of those brilliant and tight races. As you witnessed the race, one felt that MS and ferrari were slowing coz of brake problems or tyre issues, and Alonso tried to pass MS at least twice and MS firmly closed the door. It was later on that it was revealed that ferrari were deliberately slowing their pace in the second phase of the races, and that caused the renault to pit earlier than usual. Also the track was not conducive to overtaking, so only a mistake would have meant that Alonso pass MS.  The race was a true racing masterclass by MS. \n\nPitty for the Button pitstop. You could have been on the podium

Your right but all this is going to make for great season! I can't wait for the races to begin! Go Ferrari!!!

The punishment that Fisichella endured wasn't too fair. After all, he was on his out lap and Coulthard wasn't able to overtake him, due to limitations in track width. His 3 best times were deleted, so probably his remaining best time was only enough for 10th. But the punishment for what Schumi did was totally fair. He blocked much more drivers who were on their flyers; so all his times were deleted. That means a pole for Fernando!!! YAY!!!

Yes, me. I was very excited about the prospect of seeing that black monte carlo in victory lane once again. I am dissapointed that he could not win or ,worse, be around at the finish to be a part of the show. Oh well he will be back next weekend at another good track for him( Richmond ).\nHowever the black paint scheme was a one time thing and it is very sad that it was unable to make an appearence in the win colomn.

Ya that really sucked. I called in sick today to watch him race and he didn't even finish. GO DALE GO!!!!!! But yeah it was a blown engine.

I went to the race in Martinsville just a couple of weeks ago, and to a certain extent, you are right. It used to be a very enjoyable experience. Now, it's kinda iffy. Way too many people are crammed into the little bleachers and the weather can be tricky in April. Since the NASCAR season goes almost all year long, there are some times when you fry at a racetrack and there are some times when you throw snowballs at each other. I go to see the speed and smell the exhaust. Two things that the TV cameras cannot bring into my home. I have always said that alcohol should be banned inside gates, but that may never happen because of the promotion of beers on the track. However certain tracks (like Charlotte) have a section of grandstands that are "family friendly"; no smoking or drinking in those areas. You may want to look into those next time.

No Italians teams in the finals this year son, go watch paint dry. I hear it's fun.

Jimmy Spencer was a beast when he ran the modified circuit but never had the same success at the cup level I think this is because he never drove for a top tier team  I'm a big Spencer fan and would love to see what he could do in a top level car like Hendricks or Rousch would provide him

Definitely. No more oval stock car nonsense here, just pure motorsport; F1, the pinnacle of motor racing on Planet Earth. No more people to say that F1 cars can be driven by monkeys because of the TC system, no more people to call F1 boring...\n\nThe Americans don't understand traction control. It's not a method of creating traction, it's a method of maximising the traction that the driver has avaliable. And they don't seem to get that.\nToo bad there isn't a category for MotoGP. F1 is the best 4-wheeled motorsport, and MotoGP-the best two-wheeled one.\n\n\nbtw, I think the 248 in your nickname comes from the name of this year's Ferrari. Am I right?

I LOVE it!  Those who think it is boring & just a bunch of guys driving in circles for 3 hours obviously don't get it.  You want drama - nascar has it.  Just look at the deal with Gordon/Kenseth last week.  Or Kevin Harvick or Tony Stewart or the #48 team.  Passion, drama, excitement & dedication - this sport has it all.  Millions of people follow it and make treks to races.  Hell - I'm going halfway across the country next week just to see them tear it up in the lone star state!  You will not find a more dedicated, loyal, & fun fan base as you do in nascar.

I race an equivalent to NASCAR trucks in Mexico, Many people said me what they most hate are yellow flags, it´s so boring to see race cars going too slow behind a pace car (also is boring for the racer). \nFor others it´s boring to see cars just passing no matter the speed they said that is the same that sitting in front of a freeway to see cars and trucks passing.\nFor the ones that likes racing (like me) every part of the race is amazing even looking how a tire is changed or setting a suspension, or just looking an spark plug to see how the engine is doing or smelling tire smoke, etc, just imagine what  we feel when an eight cilinder engine starts up or when our prefered driver is winning. For many people all this is very trivial \nI don´t like other sports like golf, bowling, shooting, etc. I feel they do not give as much of the adrenaline I like and I get when driving or seeing a race.  \nI feel that like or hate a sport depends on every person and how their parents showed him (or hers) to like or dislike a sport or activity. My parents did not like racing but when I asked them to see a race on a speedway, they just said yes and gave  a pair of Pit tickets and from there I got into sport racing. I am the only one in my family that likes racing.

Alonso is great. Shummi needs to leave the racing for those that are up and comming. Rickonen, Fisichella, Trulli, Montoya, and Alonso are the best drivers today. \n\nHands dowm Fernando Alonso is amazing. I saw the last Tree races and I can not wait for Montreal to see them live racing.

It was completely rained out. They tried to do qualifying today too (sunday) but that was also rained out for the most part. Some cars got in some practice time but not many. \n\nNEW FORMAT\n(1) Practice: Wednesday - Friday\n(2) Qualifying 1 (provisional pole): Saturday\n(3) Bump Day: Sunday\n(4) Race: Sunday May 28th\n\n**note: due to the rain outs, there will only be ONE qualifying session this year**

Yep. I agree it has to be the technical side of it. But for a newbie? It would be that F1 is the pinnacle of motor sport and a true World Championship (literally) with races on specifically designed tracks (not ovals) from China to Monaco to Germany.

I do NOT like that race track! It sooooooooo boring and NASCAR had the nerve to give it two dates while they take off Rockingham and take Darlington's second date away!
