Nothing wrong with that don't you think because if they can manhandle an 800hp 1500lb Sprint/Dirt Track car I'm sure they could handle a F1 car. Lets not forget that your so called NastyCar drivers also manhandle a 750+hp NastyCar around a few roadcourse's. I simply cannot fathom the disdain for US drivers, regardless of the series they race in, by some of our bretheren from across the pond
.
It's mainly because when we send our drivers to US series, they (Usually) do alright, a few even decimate the opposition. When US Series send drivers to F1, they usually fizzle out into obscurity, or outright stink. Now, obviously, that doesn't mean it's an absolute or even a particularly reliable conclusion (Most drivers never make the swap after all), but it creates a perception.
