M1ka said:You are right about the difference in characteristics of the cars. It will be an adjustment in weight, size and HP. In his early days with The BMW team he was not afraid to swap paint with Schumacher when he was the undisputed top dog and everyone else seemed to be looking for a blue flag so they could pull over and get out of his way. I remember a couple of dives into corners in Brazil if memory serves.
So he should not be intimidated by NASCAR bump and run driving or the big names. I donÔÇÖt think he has lost any of his bravado so he could be very interesting to watch him bump draft his way through a field.

Fernando Alonso made Spain like F1, so success and a local face will prevail. I enjoy F1 because it was getting old just watching Schumi win all the time. Now with Alonso, Kimi, Burton, Masa, it looks better. Don't get me wrong Schumi is great, but like Yankee Baseball, Ferrari is the best team money can buy. Good luck to Juan ?

M1ka said:This was not a hijack. With Montoya's move it is part of the thread.
I can enjoy NASCAR on an oval, but have never been a big fan of the races they have on road course. There were a lot of passes. But so many seemed to be bash and crash passes that I am not accustomed to in road racing.
I see your point. I guess my prejudices were showing.
