It´s strange that they show Tilke in the video saying he is very influenced by the old Nurburgring. I dont see any of that historic venue feel in any of his tracks : they all look the same – generic layouts in the middle of nowhere. Probably he follows orders from Bernie, in that case it all makes sense : Bernie runs F1 like a funeral parlor, with no fun or sense of history.

Great drive by Montoya, but once again he needs to complain after the race instead of ending on a positive note. He actually complained about the Lexus V8 having less power than the Porsche V6, when the power between the two is very even. He was dominating the corner exits and could of had the win if he navigated thorugh traffic better.

JP is a great driver, and I love how he doesn’t take any crap from anyone. He just needs to stop complaining about things that aren’t even a problem and are out of his control. It’s not that he’s wrong or right, it just makes his image look awful sometimes.

Renault unconcerned by poor first test

I´ll bet that this year Renault will have a good car and Fast Fred will be right up there, but they will barely get it done for Australia, and will make it more competitive as the year goes on. They will have a roaring second half of the season, I believe.
The Renault team has a lot of talent

Hey F1, looky here y’all
How exciting the race description ! very well written also. US racing has a unique appeal and character that no other country has. How I wish that F1 and American racing can get together in the near future. The Daytona race with Montoya sounds like so much fun … I wish we had some of that vibe in the existing F1 world.

I’ve only been following F1 for about 11 years now, and Montoya was my favourite to date. The only other drivers that came close to him was Irvine and Villenueve. These guys were real racers, no nonesense in your face types. Of the current crop, Alonso and Vettel come closest.

I hope Montoya returns to the grid sometime, I think he’s still got the pace!

Montoya’s drive at Daytona has shown how good a driver he is! What a drive by him, world class!
