[DeTomaso] NPC: F1 Tire Failures

[Richard Greenblum]

Perhaps we could meet at the track on any of the race weekend days, there's plenty of down time, unless you're planning on buying stuff--you'll be in line forever if they don't address the numbers this year. The turnout last year was incredible.

I raced against him when he first started racing cars at age 14 and he was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. He's definitely the best hope America has for F1 greatness.

>>> I can appreciate your OPINION on that. But when 10 out of 12 F1 Team principals pick Alonso as the “Best Driver in F1”. That has to say something. Renault (Lotus now) and Ferrari have had comparable cars the last two years based on qualifying and top speed numbers and Fernando has been on the podium more than any other driver except Vettel. So, not sure Kimi will blow the doors off Fernando, Vettel or Lewis Hamilton (not to forget Rosberg now). They all are top tier drivers with unique talents. I believe (my opinion) that Fernando has shown the most consistent top level finishes irrespective of the car he’s driving.
