From ESPN.com (http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/news/story?id=1807405) Saw this link elsewhere and thought I'd post it here. (Thanks, OS)
A couple of things I liked:
At Monterrey, you would never notice the absence of Adrian Fernandez, who lost confidence in Champ Car's new ownership and took his team to the Indy Racing League. Instead, the Mexican fans gathered around Jourdain and Mario Dominguez, not to mention lesser lights and Roberto Gonzalez and Rodolfo Lavin, whose face and Corona Beer car were splashed on billboards all over Mexico's third largest city.
and...
"Yes, we haven't got it quite right. But we listen. For the qualifying, we were criticized in Long Beach for having long periods of nothing happening on the track. We tried to change that, and we realized we went too far. Now we've gone back. We'll admit when we get it wrong and we'll change." (Kalkoven)
Enjoyable read.
