coming from the Guy from california i wouldn't worry too much!  It was crazy I'm very glad I didn't buy tickets I can say that much! I turned on the race expecting to see Alonzo leading but it was just Ferraris in the lead. On a side note Wow did Rubens Look Pissed at Schumi

Yeah too bad the entire world who was watching got another glimpse at the uncivilized fans acting like jack-asses Makes the US just look worse and worse.......
So really, what is the problem with us Californian's again?

I think its about time that F1 kicks its own ass and realizes that they are killing themselves. I remember when F1 wasnt king - and it was MUCH better back then. Back when sports cars reighned it was F1's golden hour!

As far as that stuff goes, I don't think the global audience will blame that behavior on Americans per se... in addition to many foreigners being at the race and participating in the debris-throwing, there is also a history of unruly behavior in other countries at other types of sporting events. But I'd agree it's unfortunate it had to happen at this race.

You haven't seen riots until you have been to a South America or European soccer game...those same countries that call us pigs and babarians literally go after each other's throats. Don't worry about us looking bad.

I think this will be it for the US Grand Prix..this one left a bad tast and now i believe the US grand prix is over..
however as much of this was a horrible race..Michelin is at fault here, they shoulda been better prepared..The fans should not blame the teams nor Ferrari, it was all Michelin
