[DeTomaso] F1 Drivers at Indy

Thu Jun 19 11:46:56 EDT 2014

Indeed and there was much discussion prior to the first F1  race there about how fast the speeds would be on the straight. The eventual downforce package on the infield dampened that speculation a bit.

How do F1 drivers do on the ovals? Emo, Mario and Nigel did just fine...

Are they the extreme examples? I guess Justin Wilson made the transition well enough.

It is a shame we can't see pro drivers cross over into other series like the good old days (that I wasn't old enough to experience).

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?
