That was a very accurate description of my own feelings, although I was instead a huge Senna fan.
Just can’t get into it, even thought I do tune in from time to time.
Austin GP already in trouble???
Austin council could scupper 2012 US Grand Prix

According to local Kxan news, council members learned this week that they must sign off as the “endorsing municipality” in order for race organisers to access the $25 million per year promised by the Texas government. That will involve the City of Austin contributing $4 million to the Major Events Trust Fund.
“There is a distinct possibility that if this process doesn’t work, that the project and the 1000 people that are working right now, their jobs could be in jeopardy and the event could be in jeopardy,” Suttle said.
There is no guarantee the Austin council members will play ball. “Apparently there is no plan B,” said one member. “I think that is an interesting assumption to make that something like that is going to be approved.”
