Let's Do The News (March 3, 2012)

Time now for the news!

Let's begin with a very interesting one. You know that there are a few Formula One drivers defected to other motorsports. Juan Pablo Montoya used to be an F1 driver but now he's involved on NASCAR. Today, F1 driver Rubens Barrichello is defected to IndyCar, just like the other F1 graduates such as Nigel Mansell, Takuma Sato, Sebastien Bourdais, and Jean Alesi.

Good thing that Rubens Barrichello is finally retired from his F1 racing and moving on to the IndyCar, fighting alongside with IZOD IndyCar racer, Tony Kanaan, for KV Racing Technology for the 2012 IndyCar season.

Too difficult to sell in the States...
