In fact, it's the (US) F1 fans that tend to be more closeminded and snobbish, putting down "NASCRAP" or "CRASHCAR" whenever possible. This forum is a prime example. Most of the time you hear a NASCAR fan talk about dislikeing F1, it's only because some F1 fan has been dissing NASCAR to them.
Ok, but there's a very important fact that this statement disregards. And that is that F1 really is the best form of motor racing in the world and Nascar really is stupid.

Yeah we're arrogant. Of course we are.... we're better than them.

I see that withdrawal symptoms are popping up in form of NASCAR bashing.
I feel bad for NASCAR...

Getting back to Hamilton bashing Marco's girlie girl was promised a McLaren F1 LM if he wins next two world championships.
http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/2723/

The Top Gear article is a clear indicator of how Hamilton has fallen in the eyes of his supporters. TG which has always been pro Hamilton raises the question what if Heikki wins. This clearly shows that people now do not think Heikki to be a second support driver of McLaren anymore. Go Heikki, and Hamilton
SHUT UP AND DRIVE LIKE LAST YEAR!

off topic, but i cant believe how old the mclaren f1 is and how it still looks nice . its design was ahead of its time.

As we all thought...

[QUOTE]Ferrari confirm Massa spin caused by driver error

Ferrari spokesman has finally confirmed that Felipe Massa's Sepang spin was caused fundamentally by driver error. The Italian team has been coy as it investigated the incident, which sparked intense speculation that the Brazilian's position beyond 2008 might be in doubt. Massa's Malaysian retirement followed the earlier Australian grand prix, where the 26-year-old spun into the wall on the first lap before crashing with David Coulthard.

Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni said of Massa's Sepang incident last Sunday:

Yes, FM is very capable, however, he is also as far as I'm concerned way too emotional or something. FM can show up to the track happy and have an awesome weekend, and he can show up to the track all cranky and looking mad and have a disasterious weekend. What I see in FM is a gifted driver who lets his environment control him, he is subject to the blowing winds, he does not have the focus to not be effected by so many random outside influences. All too often we have seen once something goes wrong for FM on Friday or Saturday his whole weekend goes right down the shitter.
