Kyle Busch knocks F1 while comparing it with NASCAR
NASCAR and F1 couldn’t be further apart. The fans, the drivers, the tracks and the cars, polar opposites.
Drivers have transitioned from one to the other but it’s not very common. Kimi Raikkonen was the last F1 driver to attempt the switch as he raced at Watkins Glen International for Trackhouse Racing in 2023.
Kyle Busch is a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion. For him, he lacks the interest in F1.
Physically, F1 wouldn’t work for him. Busch is tall, in terms of racing drivers. F1 drivers are known to be small.
So for Busch, F1 was never a realistic option. But, he does have opinions on the division of motorsport…

“Culture I would say,” Kyle Busch explained of the differences via ‘Something’s Burning’.
“We’re a bunch of rednecks that run in circles. They’re a bunch of engineers and smart people that turn right and turn left.”
“I’m turning 40. So, the time might have passed. I’m just too big. They’re jockeys.”
“It’s kind of like going to the Super Bowl and going to all the SuperBowl parties. You just want to be seen.”
“F1 reminds me a little bit of the Kentucky Derby. All the girls gotta wear the hats and dresses. You know? Princess vibes.”
