Just gave up on him. There is a small weight gain on his face in cas someone has noticed. A-Jax has no ride what-so ever. He might as well either go to Grand-Am or ALMS.

If his contract was kaput! .... I'd match him up with Michael Cannon in a heart beat.

As an add-on, Michael Schumacher doesn't agree with you if his comments about driving DTM cars are to be believed.

According to Michael, he doesn't have the talent to win in DTM.

And Montoya hasn't exactly dominated NASCAR.

The ones who always say F1 drivers are the best, why do you say that and what do you base it on ? They are not. An IRL driver is more diverse in that they drive both road/street courses and ovals. F1 drivers would be lost on an oval. An IRL driver would run circles around them. :D

Its not every driver's goal to be an F1 driver. Danica, Tony Kanaan, Dixon, Marco Andretti, Wheldon, Castroneves, Dario, Sam Hornish (I know they are NASCAR now) can run against anyone in F1.

And you definitely cant compare NASCAR and open wheel drivers in a true aspect. Stock cars are a different monster all together.

This one time at band camp...

Look, INDY CAR, F-1 and NASCAR Sprint Cup are the top end of the sport. There are more millionaire drivers in NASCAR right now than in F-1. Most Car owners there are looking for the cheap. "Want to drive F-1 then here is what I will pay you." If you say no then someone else will take the seat. Sprint Cup is no different as being at the apex allows the car owners flexability at paying them what they desire not what the driver think his value is.
Of the three, the ICS is the lightest paying series as there is no money in the series and the new program takes care of the owners and not the drivers. Without car owners, no cars and drivers need cars. Racing Economics 101.

I believe that the drivers mentioned by DanicaFan might be competent to drive an F1 car well and I certainly rank Dan Wheldon higher than some F-1 drivers. But I don't think that any driver is Indy Car is as good as Kimi Raikkonen or Fernando Alonso. Of course, this is just my opinion.

EVERY single driver in F1 is a millionaire.

Link please?

So what if they are? That doesn't make them any better or worse than any other driver. I can work a job for one widget maker and make "X" and work the same job at another widget maker and make "Y."
