Rather worrying, F1 doesn't need a farce in America.

I would like the username rgordon changed to Hank Hill. Its what I use on other forums, and rgordon quite honestly sounds stupid and has for awhile.

Or a second one. Or a third one.

I assume farce was a typo, so I've corrected it.

Also, its funny how F1 still cocks up in the USA. By expanding from 0 to 2 races, Bernie put the first race in doubt because its no longer the sole race.

By going for more, its cost F1.

Leimer admitted that he was surprised at how easy it was to adapt to the car on his first day in an F1 car.

He found the precision of the Sauber C31 meant that he could attack relatively early in the day.

"It was my first time in an F1 car and I got used to it really quickly," he said. "I thought that it would be much more difficult to drive in the corners, but it's such a smooth car, which I didn't expect because the GP2 car is so aggressive.

"It was a really good day and I learned a lot."

He added that the biggest challenge he faced was getting used to operating the various steering wheel-mounted systems that require regular driver input.

But he was confident that he managed to master these systems rapidly and could concentrate on improving his driving.

"The hardest thing was not the physical side," he said. "The hardest thing was that I had to do so much when I was on the track. In GP2, you don't have to change much, but in F1 you have to use the boost button, the DRS and they ask you to switch various things.

"That's the toughest thing when you are focused on the track and you have to know what button to use."
