I thought about Mario, actually. And he considers himself American. Even when he was racing F1, he was considered an American.

After his interview of the racers at Austin last year, I don't think I'd enjoy watching him comment on races either.

You should all do this for sure -- come on! Join the fun!

Lucked out with the picks on my end... thought Kimi would deliver at least one win over the course of the season so I guess that's that haha

I doubt I'd make it through the first race before I started beating the tar of out Hobbs.

I mean, I know why YOU love him, Charlie. That fantastic car he sold you and has stood behind 100% is reason enough to be his #1 fan.

haha yes yes, he sold me a lemon. it's still kinda cool to see the dude who's dealership is right across the street from my office on national TV, no matter how many gumballs he stuffs in his mouth right before the broadcast every race.

Another link to share... McLaren appologizes to RBR and MW. They said that the ecu rebooted itself on the formation lap not allowing MW's engineers to reboot their start set up.

IK that MW sucks at starts to begin with but this doesnt help i wonder how it would have changed the race.

Oh wow....

having said that, he should be used to catching up...especially after his starts in 2012... i thought teams had reverted back to the old non-2014 spec version because of the issues that they were having in testing... i didn't realize they ended up putting in the 2014 info and going into the season with it.
