Exactly.
Only a fool will not recognize that at the pinnacle of any type of racing series there are massive challenges for the drivers... they all take balls (although WRC pwnz all) and that there are insane technical hurdles for teams to clear in order to field a competitive car.
Those who argue strictly the merits of one particular top-drawer series over any other only demonstrate their lack of a genuine motor racing understanding...
Now, about Kyle Busch... what'd Little E say when asked about how Kyle wrecked him two races ago? "There's a long line of drivers that want to talk to Kyle Busch..."
Perhaps Busch the Younger has an ounce or two more talent than rest of the top ten drivers in Cup... but there's a radical learning curve to get an F1 car up to speed ...(to within 107% of pole) not to mention another realm entirely of physical forces that the body must to learn to endure.
Perhaps in Fangio's day or even Gurney's a driver accomplished in one series but unpracticed in another could hop into the latter machine and kick ass. No more, I'm afraid. Technology has place much demand upon each particular discipline of the sport.
