Most interesting part of the 2013 US Grand Prix?
The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders of course!
There were 135k spectators total over the 3-day weekend. The Circuit of the Americas' total capacity is 120k and most of the grandstands looked far from sold out. The customary fan celebration on the front straight after the race looked very tame compared to Montreal and especially Monza.
Loved watching Jay Leno in the McLaren P1 around the track. He was not especially fast but he makes up for it by being funny as always. That was a thinly veiled ad by the way -- admit it, Jay, even you could not turn down an offer to drive a P1 around COTA! Is it a coincidence that the Forza 5 ads looked like a McLaren infomercial as well? I think not - that's McLaren's PR machine hard at work. In a season where they've had one of their worst showings in their storied history, they'll need all the PR they can get!
Leigh Diffey in the Vettel interview: "How do you stay so humble and grounded?" What a joke, Leigh -- you cannot possibly be forgetting that Vettel is a selfish whiner who's been a total ass on a few occasions even to teammate Mark Webber. You should be ashamed of yourself for asking a question like that just to kiss up to him.
Loved Sam Posey's narration - Vettel is like Senna and Schumacher who "... all believe that destiny called for them and them alone to win!" That's more like it, Diffey.
