It was never in question that Nascar is the most boring "sport" on Earth, but having someone like Schumacher tell the giant marketing machine of driving around in a circle where to shove it just cements the point:

"What do you see in Nascar? What is exciting about it? I can't see that, running around in ovals," he said. "I just don't see the challenge in it for me. Personally, I wouldn't do it." He went on to criticize the Nascar vehicles themselves. "I don't know how heavy these cars are — but a heavy and very low-developed car to drive compared to a Formula One car."

Go Schumi! See you at the Istanbul GP.
