Geez Drama Queens...it was a joke. Are you people really this thin skinned? Ok, I'm sorry I made fun of your hero, deity and reason for living. There, feel better now?
If you think it's the last time your hero will be made fun of....you haven't been in here or watched his career for very long. For every impressive pass, there is an equally impressive pit lane crash, gravel trap park, straight away impact or back marker he's shoved off the track. A few of those costing his team a world championship. You can get all riled up and patriotic if you like, but you can't claim any of the afore mentioned hasn't happened.
As for the USF1 crack, I said multiple times in the beginning that it was a horrible idea and bound to turn into a train wreck. Sure Peter Windsor was a good reporter, but had he been half as qualified as a team owner as he would have needed to be to get USF1 off the ground...some team would have offered him a ton of money to do more behind the pit wall than carry a microphone. How long has it been since he was anything more than a reporter? 15 years? Besides Windsor...who did USF1 have to get it off the ground? A Nascar team technical director who used to be in IRL and motocross before that. Who really believed these two could get an F1 team off the ground from scratch? Anyone?
Even real car companies with hundreds of engineers and LOTS of money typically buy a small team and try to drag it towards the front. To start from scratch, an ocean away from any testing or real F1 knowledge in the middle of Nascar country has to be one of the dumbest F1 ideas in recent memory. I still half suspect it was a shell game to grab some sponsorship money and run. The fact that they stuck US on the name is what really bends me out of shape. It was a bad plan by an unqualified brit attempting to capitalize on the desire to bring F1 back to the states. Good Riddance.
