Formula One has been Ferrari.... for the last few seasons. Williams Honda, McLaren Mercedes, Camel Lotus and others dominated in their era. BMW, Jaguar, and now Toyota await a turn at the top !!    F1 is the reason speed cost money, as the Arrows, Prost and Stewart Grand Prix teams learned in the past few seasons. Michael Schumacher is the six time Formula 1 driving champion. Ayrton Senna might have been. Alain Prost, Nelson Piquet,David Coulthard, Damon Hill and others had their moments at the podium. Nigel Mansell won his share, would always "smile" for the camera and liked our stories of escapes to Florida, USA so much.... he moved the family for a while. The F1 circus has the newest, lightest, strongest, high technology, but is really about the personalities. Bernie and his rules, Jackie Stewart, Ken Tyrell and Eddie Jordan put their "face" on the team, the new "hot-shoe", the aging "star", contract renewals, juggling the travel schedule. Who would have ever thought the Formula One broadcast would beam to the world "live" from Shanghai China?!? or Sakhir, Bahrain. Formula One. It's a psychology degree, a geography lesson and the pinnacle of motorsports achievement. F1 is also the reason we eat really bad food, get no sleep, argue with airport security about X-raying our film, and fly off to every corner of the globe on faux-luxury tinbox "state airlines". We wouldn't have it any other way. .
