But Newman's way of living is not familiar to most people involved in F1 and I guess we can only hope that Chris Pook is successful in creating a new United States GP for the 21st century. I've heard suggestions that there could be an announcement as early as December, in which case I'll have to eat my words, proving yet again who the smartest boys in the room are.
Meanwhile, look what you guys have done. You've made me write more of this rubbish about Pook possibly recapturing F1 in America which surely will upset Tony George once again. As bright fellows like you know only too well, sometimes a guy just can't win.
Good luck on your global mission. We can only watch and wonder.
Your friend in sport,
Gordon Kirby.
