Should be a good season... at least 4 teams with competitive cars and 3 with potential champion drivers

In the same way custom-made Italian suits are a poor man's Brooks Brothers (I'll give NASCAR more credit than saying Men's Warehouse)

Probably TOO much money in F1... so it's been gravitating to Asia where they can get the government funding for the rediculous $30 million amount required to host a race. And teams like Ferrari and BMW have annual budgets upwards of $300 million

i'm well aware of the insane amounts of money involved in F1. in my very early years, gilles villeneuve was a household name back home.

Not even close, there's also right turns in F1.
And the women that you see at F1 races have a full set of teeth.

Implants as well!

F1 President Caught In Nazi Hooker Orgy (http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/7971044?MSNHPHMA)
Max Mosley, president of the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile, F1's governing body, is facing intense pressure to resign from his post after being implicated in a Nazi role-playing orgy according to British tabloid News of the World.
The report detailed a five-hour "Nazi-style" orgy between Mosley and five prostitutes at a house in Chelsea. In a video on the newspaper's Web site, it shows a man identified as Mosley arriving at an apartment. The man is then greeted by a woman playing the role of a Nazi prison guard, checking his hair to see if he has been kept free of lice "at the other facility."
At one point during the video, the man yells "she needs more of ze punishment!" while brandishing a leather strap over a woman's bottom before striking her with it and counting in German, as other women in Nazi-style uniforms look on.
The report is even more disturbing because of the fact that his father, Oswald Mosley, was a former British politician who served in Parliament for both the Labour and Conservative parties. Before World War II, however, Oswald led Britain's fascist organization according to the Times of London.
Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone said the sport shouldn't be affected by the report.
"Assuming it's all true, what people do privately is up to them," Ecclestone told the Times in a story posted late Sunday on its Web site. "Knowing Max it might be all a bit of a joke."
Still, the pressure is mounting for Mosley to step aside, particularly from Jewish groups, according to the Times.
This report comes mere months following a scandal in Barcelona where Lewis Hamilton, Formula One's only black driver, was verbally taunted by fans. Mosley came out shortly after the incident and threatened to impose penalties on tracks if any racially-themed incidents appeared in the future.
The FIA not only governs Formula One, but helps establish appropriate standards for all other motor racing championships, including NASCAR.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
