No more JPM in F1
I wonder if F1 realizes they lost a big reason to watch F1?
Good drivers have come and gone in F1, sometimes while they still could perform well like Montoya. Him leaving is not such a huge blow IMO because there are several young guns that are coming in that will prove entertaining like Lewis Hamilton, Heikki Kovalainen, and maybe some of the second(third) gen F1 kids like Bruno Senna, Marco Andretti, and Nelson Piquet Jr.
However I think F1 could be headed towards a very real downturn in popularity in the next few years with the draconian and stupid rules that are about to come down. I think Moto GP could possibly stand a lot to gain from F1's downturn. And of course Montoya and possibly Danica going to NASCAR is a plus for them.
