Interesting, but Formula One?

Cheever drove in Formula One in the 1980s. He's been in Indy cars as a driver then team manager for the last several years. Being an ex F-1 driver is an impressive thing esp. for an American, but Cheever's team is IRL not F-1.

Indy 500 is biggest racing event?

I was thinking, maybe it is in the US, but surely F-1 is far more popular than even the Indy 500? Though I thought the Indy 500 was slipping to other domestic racing competitions...

F1?

What did this article have to do with Formula One?

I'd say the Indy 500 has been one of the biggest competitions in racing. IRL is mainly American but CART was very much so international.

Formula 1? Please.

IRL is not Formula 1. Better do some research. I don't remember seen the Ferrari team and Michael Schumacher ever in IRL. Do You? Formula 1 is a totally different animal.

CNET knows absolutely nothing about cars

CNET doesn't know their you know what from a hole in the ground when it comes to anything car related. These guys are computer geeks, not gearheads. Want some real car info, read Autoweek, Car and Driver, Motortrend... F1 the Indy 500 is not. And Audi A6's do not compete against BMW 3 series. And if I wasted my time reading other CNET articles about things they should keep their noses out of, I'd find plenty of other things they do not have correct. But that's what happens when you try to be the jack of all trades - master of none.
