Not even close.
Half the teams don't even have the new cars out.
Something to think about...Toyota hasn't won an F1 race, does this mean they are failing?
Since entering F1 they have become the number one selling car in the US, which I think, is the largest market. Keep in mind they are big bussiness.
Are they racing cars for fun or are they trying to sell cars?
They have done an excellant job at taking F1 technology to the streets with thier vehicles. Great job with all the gadgets and reliablility. That's why americans buy them.
I just can't seem to figure out why still after all this, the US is still a small market for F1...
