Hey All,

Don't tell me this means Alonzo and Hamilton are gonna try to drive NASCAR...

He had one thing right though...

Montoya said other aspects of the so-called pinnacle of motor<script language="JavaScript">p; dc_tile = dc_tile + 1; document.write('<SCR'+'IPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/sptv.formula-one/sprint-cup;tile=' + dc_tile + ';pos=1;sz=300x250;ord=' + ord + '?" ><\/SCRIPT>'); </script><script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/sptv.formula-one/sprint-cup;tile=3;pos=1;sz=300x250;ord=618511718325875500?"></script>

racing also left him disillusioned.

"In the beginning you fight and you're happy to be there," he said of Formula One. "I did fast times, I got several poles, I won some races. The perfect dream."

"But after two or three years you see how everything in the team works, how it is manipulated. And you see that if you want to win you have to be with a particular team and that's pretty frustrating," said Montoya.

Also frustrating is the fact that, if a team's single-seater is not born competitive, there is "nothing you can do" to return to the pace in that season, he added.

So called pinnacle... manipulated (pull over let your teammate win)... that's F1. So I'll take NASCAR - also less fascination with Nazi Germany.
