Just a thought about this news and the boisterous news that the Austin ciruit could be on the f1 schedule for "40 years".

I think as a whole America just doesn't "get it" and will eventually (as past history has proven) f*ck up its relationship with f1. The American marketing and business people who have the resources to make things happen are just too uninformed and arrogant.

All the circuits in F1 have to renew their contracts, and the contracts are always under review. F*cking Monaco does not have a contract longer than 10 years. Texas is not F*cking Monaco.

Danica is a good race car driver. Not great, but good. Putting her in an F1 car is a marketing ploy. She will have a miserably time. Bruno Senna is having a tough time.

she isnt doing that well in either indy or nascar. shes just an average driver on good teams.

but f1 really lost their chance to grow here after the indy incident, that with people not really caring much about they "f1 crowd" makes it a tough sell here in america. nascar/indy/alms/grand am/etc all seems to have found a niche group to stand behind them. f1 would have to steal from one of those groups and i just dont see it happening.
