I dont know much about it but I'm sure you cant compare Indy and F1.
Isn't Indy going round and round an oval track but F1 has corners or something?
I would have thought, if that was the case, that coming 2nd in the F1 would probably be harder than 1st in Indy.. due purely to the tactics needed (Not to mention using those F1 steering wheels).
However, if the guy won then i would agree he should have been recognised at the awards... its no mean feat. (And almost unheard of for a Brit to win anything these days )
i dont beleive your stumped on this one, F1 is more popular, technical, and harder to win a championship at imo, its the premiership of all racing comps, no wonder Hamilton, at his age and on his debut finishing 2nd won that award thingie.
