Mario Andretti's 1978 Championship winning F1 car took on a beautiful lot of F1 classics during last Saturday's Historic F1 Race at the Circuit of the Americas. While Mario was in attendance, and even interviewed the winners of the USGP on Sunday, I don't believe he piloted it during the event.

There's only one thing to be thinking about during your Thanksgiving dinner this evening, and no it's not your extended family getting along or your plans for purchases during Black Friday. The only thing that matters is if Alonzo can keep Vettel from winning a third championship. For those of you who saw the majesty of McLaren Mercedes last weekend, you know that while RedBull Racing Renault wrapped up the Manufacturers championship already, Lewis Hamilton claiming P1 means that Alonzo has one more chance to get the better of RedBull and Sebastian Vettel. Fernando was awful proud of that third place podium spot, but it all makes sense leading us into Brazil for the final showdown. F1 seasons decided on the final race in Brazil are always worth the price of admission (just think about Kimi in 2007) and this should be no different. Make sure to get a nice slice of pie, put gravy on both your turkey and mashed potatoes, and enjoy your holiday weekends.
