I'm an American, and I love F1! Definitely going to Indy again...and while I would like to see Scott Speed do well, he's definitely not my favorite. Honestly, my favorite was Juan Pablo, but now that he's gone, I'm having to go with Alonso.
I do wish that more Americans would give F1 a chance...but most are so stuck on Nascar that they won't. I think I read somewhere that 4 of the races will be aired on network television here this year, instead of Speed...

1. Lewis Hamilton 2. Ayrton Senna 3. Either Hamilton, Button or Vettel 4. Either McLaren or Red Bull 5. No. He does have immense talent especially in qualifying but theres so much talent out there now in the form of Hamilton, Button, Alonso, di Resta, Raikkonen, Grosjean etc. that I think it will be too competitive for him to reach the heights that Schumacher reached (wither he cheated or not). But I have been wrong before. 6. Even though I am a huge Hamilton fan, I do have to say he is a bit overrated but not by much. 7. Possibly, Oliver Rowland (Finished 7th in the 2010 Formula Renault UK Winter Series, runner-up in the 2011 Formula Renault UK series and won the 2011 Formula Renault UK Finals Series all at his first try). 8. Probably the most recent 3, Formula 1 Championship Edition, F1 2010 and F1 2011. 9. Stirling Moss without a shadow of a doubt. 10. Definetly. I say ditch Bahrain and get the Red Bull Ring (Renamed from A1 ring after Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz bought the circuit). BQ1. Moto GP, WRC, BTCC, WTCC, GP2, GP3. BQ2. Scotland BQ3. I can't see him being out of the top 10. BQ4. Well the new circuit looks good and I hope the race is good. It's been a while so it's great to see it back on the calander. BQ5. Yes. Some good questions I really had to think about.

I'm not sure if Americans enjoy F1 yet. I think that at least half of motorsport fans in the USA are completely oblivious of F1, especially due to broadcasting times. Some people actually call it "dull" and "boring", which, if you saw the last half of the season, is really untrue.
The 2005 fiasco was a perfect excuse for the FIA to kick Michelin out the back door of F1. =((
I'm not American, I actually live in Eastern Europe.
btw, I'm planning on attending the Hungarian GP in August 2007. The place of the strangest race in 2006 and a place that Button and Alonso will remember for ever. ;)... you know what I mean.

Can't wait for the F1 season to start again. Yes it would be good to see Jensen the winner, but my money is going on Kimi next year. . . given the right car he's a winner. Hoping to go to the Spanish GP. . . the atmosphere is electric and it's more affordable. The Americans will be backing Speed no doubt.
Merry Christmas to you too!

I live in Chicago and I think F1 rules. Alot of skill needed. Going left, right, chicane turns, long straights, BIG CHALLENGE. Finding the balance can be difficult. These days, F1 is much more competetive than in recent years. Yes I know Mr. Schumacher has virtually ruled F1 before Alonso finally dethroned him.
Sorry, I DON'T find NASCAR that excting. Going in circles is not my idea of skill. Hey, I say let Jeff Gordon come to F1 and let's see how he does. I bet Montoya wins a Nextel Cup in 2-3 seasons. Maybe less??

I enjoy F1, but I only get to read about it in my Autoweek magazine or from the Web. I love the technology, the challenge of the courses and the driving skill needed.
But here in the US, NASCAR rules EVERYTHING. TV rarely carries Formula One and the only channel that covered it in depth was Speedvision, which might as well be called NASCARVision now. Auto racing isn't an easy sport, regardless of what those unfamiliar might think. But to think we enjoy cars going around in circles for 400 miles rather then battling on a road course is beyond me.
I also enjoy following WRC

I'm from south America. I love the f1. I go to the Brazilian Grand Prix every year. I think that Kimi Raikonen, is going to become the champion.
Good luck and bye, Ricardo

American's enjoying F1? Come on, unless they don't support an American they've only got Scott Speed - who, unfortunately unlike his name, didn't have much speed last season. I'm off to Indy for the race in June and am very much looking forward to it there. There are always Americans there but they were all upset by Speed last year.

not really. we're into NASCAR here. nothing against F1, but the races usually come on at odd hours here. i live on the east coast so the F1 race in indianapolis is halfway across the country. i go to 3 or 4 NASCAR races a year. 95% of american race fans are into NASCAR rather than open wheel racing.

Not many pay attention to it here in the US and Formula 1 wants to charge a mint to have a race here in the US. It's doubtful that it will even stay in Indianapolis.
Formula 1 may be popular around the world but it's about dead in the US and I think Formula 1 kind of wants it that way.
