Formula 1 Fans?
I doubt that Ferrari would give Alonso the number one status he wants at McLaren, but at least his team and mechanics wouldn't hate him as much as they do now.
I've said it before, he's a cheating spanish worm, I hope Lewis kicks his *** in the 3 remaining races.
Alonso, De La Rosa and Coughlan cheat but team McLaren gets the punishment and he gets away scott free...the more I think about it the more it winds me up.

OK. I admit this is off topic...
But, I need to say, that obviously I am NOT a NASCAR fan. BUt, every once and a while I watch a report, or race cap to see if Montoya is anywhere around. Even back to the top 20 he is NO WHERE to be seen.
Do you think (I do!), he thought he would just jump in and dominate? After all he is an F-1 driver ~ but where is he now??? Will Scott Speed do any better???
My opinion? They don't relate in the least. I road raced bikes and cars for about 10 years (Production bikes and IROC cars). Long story short. I owned a production company that shot car commercials for 20 years. Got to drive a NASCAR ride @ Bristol (many years ago) sponsored by Kodak.
They gave me the parade car to play with 1st (looks 100%, but with some lame *** motor). Then they gave me the back up car and kept kicking up the tell-tale 1000 rpms @ a time.
It's just plain weird. The seat is cocked 20 degrees to the side, so you can look out your left side window and the steering wheel is under your chin. I think these guys will be lost. I sure the h*** was!

NASCAR is tough ****, definitely not easy. I just hate the concept of it though.

I think JV will need time like Montoya. Montoya overall is doing fairly well based on overall points. He's good. On cold tires even. JV just did not have it when the tires got cold this weekend. I think he'll need more time. He was fine with cold tires when he was in Indycars.
I'll admit I watch and Tivo NASCAR and I'll follow JV and Montoya. They actually made it more interesting for me this season. I'll watch anything on wheels.

Someone else might pick him, but I don't hope so. He's paid a LOT and doesn't really produce. He can't blame the car all the time, cause Trulli has been doing decently.

Two To Go Please!
After Japan and Alonso tossing his car away 
(shed a tear here), my man Hamilton is looking pretty darn good going into his last two races of a crazy season. I wish him the championship!!!
