[DeTomaso] F1 Drivers at Indy

[Dave]

When F1 was at Indy-IMS, the drivers were not fond of exiting the road course in the short chute between the conventional turns 1 & 2, exiting the traditional turn 1 (counterclockwise) and traveling down the front stretch. As I remember, it was fastest F1 cars traveled on any course, at the time. The front stretch is 0.625 miles. The F! cars did not travel the entire front stretch before ducking back into the road course.

I am a huge MS fan and wish him a recovery worthy of his accomplishments.

Dave's comment has me wondering...

We all know that F1 drivers don't always translate to NASCAR success. This is due to a lot of reasons.

What I want to discuss is whether F1 skill can translate into Indy success. On road courses, sure...Villeneuve, Montoya and Mansell all mixed both well.

Has that always been the case?
