@wlud Following : Don't see any anti-americanism in my words, there is none. I am usually fond of USA, I only describe a strange (to my eyes al least..) state of fact.. :)
@wlud Following : F1 is not well known in the USA mostly because US people live in a circular world where whatever is not American is non-existent,alien or despicable..despite the fact the whole USA represents barely 20% of mankind..Which is quite funny is that most of the US most famous sports are absolutely unknow to 80% of the mankind..and of course mechanical US sports are included in this percentage.. (When I watch US TV series, I sometimes wonder if we live on the same planet :) )
@poska69 You have to understand that for non-US drivers, F1 is the holy grail.. Being in F1 is the ultimate goal of every pilot born outside USA, even in an and of grid team, even being a paying pilot.. Most of the professional track drivers-to-be become drivers with tho only goal to reach F1 and become famous.. Fangio, Schumacher, Lauda, Prost, Mansell, Villeneuve, are kinda gods for them.. Bourdais went to cart only because he could get not a seat in F1 at the right moment..
@TifosiAlonso We're not speaking of the same Andretti, I spoke about Michael, not Mario.. Of course Mario was a great champion, but his son was kinda lamer in F1 despite his successes in US series.. :)
@carbonfreak989 It's a replay, he wouldn't be doing max revs on an in-lap/during a red flag period.

@wlud Andretti had few results in F1? He dominated there for two years with Lotus and he had already taken some wins for Ferrari.
