1. Interesting definition of "One of the best drivers."
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2. What does a discussion of CART cars/drivers have to do with F1?

Those who follow "big-league" open wheel racing know what generally happens
when a CART driver goes to F1. Canadian drivers being the notable
exception,of course...:)
I've seen a few since I started going to Montreal in '79. Watching M.
Andretti trying to find the braking point into the hairpin was worth a
laugh.

"Is it here? Oops, nope, that's all sandy..."
