For instance, I read often that NASCAR drivers are not talented because they race in ovals and not road courses. But old rednecks like Lake Speed who won only one NASCAR race demolished in a go cart series a great driver named Ayrton Senna. JP Montoya is a proven winner although not Schumacher and yet has struggled in stock cars. Please help me understand how F1 drivers are so vastly superior to stock car drivers in a pure talent argument. I feel that the cars in F1 are so advanced with the alloy engines, sophisticated braking systems and overall lightness, that they would be easier to drive because you can brake so much later in entering a turn etc. Center of gravity is so low that handling is not an issue whereas a stock car is like driving a sled. IMO it takes more skill to drive such an antiquated racing vehicle.
