Now F1 wants to copy NASCAR and do a Chicago street race.

I think it was more to grab the "Grand Prix" titles and trademark them away from NASCAR in case F1 ever decides they want to try out a street race here. While I would love to have a hometown F1 race, I have serious doubts.

I'd rather see F1 go back to Indy.

If they're gonna go back there, it's gonna be on Penske's terms since he's now running IMS. But, I don't think that will happen despite our fantasies of FIA and F1 going back to Indy. I believe F1 fans want to seriously forget 2005 and that hot garbage of a tire war between Michelin and Bridgestone that spelled disastrous. That's why they moved the U.S. GP to Circuit of the Americas because of the tire war and the botched politics between Mosley, engineers and team managers of the teams slated to run the 2005 race at Indy.
