Watching NASN on Virgin Media atm and NASCAR now is on, i knew that Montoya left F1 for NASCAR but i've just seen Jaques Villneuve (sp) there so i want to ask, why do F1 drivers seem to be switching over to NASCAR

I think NASCAR takes more skill but is a tad repetitive what with you just driving around in a circle, but there is a proper race

I also saw that somebody called Burton? had earned $43m in his career so far, and Schumacher used to earn £15 a year i think, so why switch from F1 to NASCAR, it wasnt like Montoya wasnt in a good team

Wow, that post is so wrong it hurts.

Do you think mayeb they go to NASCAr because they can't cut it in F1 anymore? Thats why its only the old guys?

I make more than Schumacher?

FitZiggy

you said they require more skill and yet in the same sentence said they drive around in circles

They're switching to NASCAR because they can't get work in F1 anymore. It also pays very well so you are going to get them going there when they can't get work as opposed to other forms of racing.

Poor Schuy should have just taken the dole instead ffs

retired_leverne

its just i was always confused about Montoya going as he was racing for a top team.

i meant £15m a year hec lol

hanouda

tbh £15 probably worth more than $43,000,000 atm iirc

$80m in 2004, $60m in 2005
