assistant: Since around that time, when an American team put the effort to winning
a F1 season the rules quickly changed.  We are good with BIG displacement
engines, and when Crower sleeved and destroked a SBC down to 203 CI and
made over 720 HP the rules were changed to effectively eliminate it
before the upcoming season.  This was about 1969-70 and it surely would
have been at the front of the pack if durability was not a problem.
Unless you have the bucks to tool up a complete design for F1 racing, and
take it on tour with a team or two with spare parts for everyone, you are
not going to be competitive.  The big three here don't see enough return
on the investment for F1.  NASCAR is it for Ford and GM.  Chrysler was/
is trying to hold on to NHRA drag racing.
Although NASCAR is not exactly racing what you buy, the engine designs
and body styles are based on stuff you can buy.  Although Renault has
good success in F1, I wouldn't buy one of their production cars.  What
F1 engine, (or other part for that matter) can be found at the dealer.
Ferrari is close, all the other ones are not put in any production car.
So you can say 'but the company has great engineering';  Maybe they do
and maybe they spend a huge chunk of the profits from sales to go racing!

assistant: Villeneuve said it...tongue in cheek of course
  Risky, yes, but he was faster and had the inside track. Have
you been reading the reaction of auto-racing analysts and the
sports press around the world, including Germany? The condemnation
of Schumacher is universal...he deliberately tried to bump JV out,
just as he did Hill two years ago.
 I don't argue about Schumie's driving skills: all other things being
equal, he's probably the best in F-1. But he's got a few things to
learn about sportsmanship.
 Besides, I like Villeneuve better and he's Canadian, eh?

With all the changes happening in preparation for the 1998 NASCAR season, I
thought I should share my network's reports for the Silly Season. These are
just unofficial listings of what the roster for the three major NASCAR series
will look like. I have tried to ignore the rumors that sound a little bit too
silly, even though this is the Silly Season. Enjoy!

Well it was only just clean. You would have to say Michael tried it again I
guess. But this time it didn't have the same result as the last time it
happened. But then again he's not the only F1 or any other class of driver
that has done this kinda thing. Prost and Senna done it to each other in
consectutive years with each winning the title at Japan by running/crashing
into each other.
The only way around it would to suspend them for half of the next season or
deduct points from the aggressor.

Yes JV said that one. Also said he must have had his eyes closed aswell.
That's what I think aswell. If schui didn't hit him I think JV would have

track I'd imagine.
Hope so. It'll be a total lottery next year I think though with all these new
