I'm a fan of just about any form of motorsports, but for some reason I've never been able to get into F1. Probably because it seems like it's usually a one man show, for years it was Schumaker and now Alonzo. Plus the time slot that Speed Channel shows the replays, usually early Sundays, is a time when I have a hard time following.
I've heard though that Katherine Legge has been testing for a possible ride in F1. If she goes that route I'll probably start following more closely.

Understand that. With Schumacher's dominance, I had really lost interest for a long time. This year, there has been some sort of parody with Raikkonen and Alonso. Next year they are going to V8's, which I honestly think sucks.
Legge tested in a Minardi. I don't know how serious the tests are, but it would be great to see a female driver in F1, even if it is just a test role at first.
I've just been a huge fan of open wheel racing since the late 80's and the days of Michael Andretti, Al Unser Jr., etc. But I really wish IRL and Champ Car would put aside their differences and merge back into one league. Don't think it will ever happen though.
What would be cool is if Danica Patrick got an F1 test.

I really liked Montoya when he was running CART, and especially when he showed up at Indy and dominated the show (was that 00 I think?). It would be cool to see him be more competitive every week and maybe contend for the championship.
It would be great to see a female in F1, and I think Katherine would be a great fit. The problem with that, of course, is Eccelstone. Is he really that much of a chauvinist or does he just have a habit of saying stupid things?
It would obviously be better for American open wheel racing if IRL and Champ Car could work out their differences and remerge. The only down side I see to that is that both sides would have to give up some of their current races, and I'm afraid that we'd lose our IRL race here in Nashville :cry:
She might fool me, but I honestly don't see Danica going back overseas. She talks like she's perfectly content in the IRL. If she ever left I think it would probably be for Nascar.

I tried to get into F1, but after about 5 minutes, the incredible technology aspect wears off, and you're forced to change the channel.
Isn't Dan Wheldon going to F1 next year or in years to come, or is that just a rumor at this point?
