Well done to Scott Speed

He must be the first American in a long time to race in Formula 1.

Now I hope he does well but I also hope mlittle doesn't raise his expectations too high (like some others here

)

He should have a chat to Mark asap. Right now he has the hopes of a nation riding with him

I can imagine the pressure on Scott when he races for Toro Rosso. I just hope their car is decent.

I still remember the 5th place finish for Webber on his debut. That was mega!!

G'day Julian

Now that Scott Speed has made it into Formula 1, maybe a brotha can get a little love up in here!!!

I can't take anymore of the overexposed Nextel Cup!

Despite what just sounded like total nationalistic pride, I like my racing without the weird politics of religion and pariotism.

C ...in a free country!
