Formula 1...who watches?

[piknockout]

Just curious if any of you guys watch Formula 1. What a frickin' season so far. I watched random races last year, but this year I have followed every event, both qualifying and the race.

After today's race in Monza, Hamilton's lead is down to one point over Massa, with previous year's champion Raikonnen sitting well back of the points battle. Hopefully Hamilton's/Mclaren's appeal on the Spa race in Belgium goes through as Hamilton earned that race, with the ruling being complete BS in my opinion.

And lastly...what about Vettel/Bourdais and STR Ferrari. Looks like there's a new team on the rise, nice to see Vettel taking the win, youngest driver ever to win pole and points race.

Anyways, I don't know anyone that actually watches, so thought I would see if anyone else is interested in it on here. :D

Watch it and love it.

I can't believe Vettel won... and none of the Ferrari were even close. What a weird race.

[Vypurr]

I have been slacking this year. In the past I never missed a race!

[Instigator1225]

I've been watching F1 on Speed TV for years now. The coverage is great. Does anyone have Speed HD? Do the races look any better? I've been taping them with my PC's TV tuner since 2006. Even though Schumi isn't racing, last season and this season are amazing. It's good to see Toro Rosso win. If Scott Speed could have done better with Toro Rosso then we might still have an American in F1. I watch the practice session, qualifying, and the races. It would be cool if there was a bar in Philly you could watch the races with fellow F1 fans. I'm hoping the US GP comes back next year. I want travel to see one or two races next year. The next race should be great since it's the first night race in F1 histroy. I don't see how people can watch NASCAR after an F1 race.

Nice...I'm not alone! :D

I have to say, after last year I'm a Lewis Hamilton fanboy. The guy is amazing. Hopefully they overturn that stupid ruling from Spa, that was BS.

And Massa missed the perfect opportunity to take advantage of Hamilton/Mercedes miscue in qualifying.

[alwaysinboost]

Hamilton is my fav too, ever since I saw him on top gear racing the reasonably priced car in the rain and coming in 2nd place over all. that dude is amazing.

[mazda6guy]

I am also a Lewis Hamilton fan too! He is a driving phenom! I just wish that they would have 1 race here on the US soil. I would travel to attend a F1 race.

I watch it religiously but I am in the middle of downloading Italy so I didn't read any posts in fear of spoilers. Nico Rosberg or Kubica are my favorites, and of course I like Hamilton as well. 100% not a Ferrari fan.

[piknockout]

Yeah, full of spoilers...dont' read! :D


And here's another spoiler, so don't read below.








I only caught the last 17 laps yesterday as the DVR screwed up on me, so I recorded the 3:30pm showing and watched it this AM. I didn't realize that Hamilton was on a one stopper, and had he made the call for intermediates on his pit stop just a few laps earlier, he would have been in contention for a podium. Go figure, he takes a chance on inters in qualifying, and gets bitten hard. Plays conservative and stays on full wets in the race, and gets bitten.

[olmytsi]

I watch every race. My man is Massa, he's been so consistent this year.

[piknockout]

If you don't count Silverstone that is. That was a giant cluster.

haha i remember going into work the day str won, and one of the cooks in the kitchen who I bs about f1 and car stuff told me that. all i remember is saying who the hell is that? but i watch it when i can. im doing pretty good so far this season.

[OBEEWON]

The last two races were absolutely great. I watch everylap which is rare for me with my ADD.
I'm glad for Vettel. Thier strategy definitely won that for them. No visibility issues in the front so he basically raced himself the whole time. They got a scare when Hamilton got to second, but well done.


Raikonen is dissappointing, but I'm glad for Massa seeing as though they were trying to give him the axe and he is doing so well.

I've been waking up at 7am for years now watching F1. I was a Coulthard man back in the day but Hamilton is THE man. Congrats to Vettel tho, it's good to see someone breaking that McLaren/Ferrari stranglehold.

C'mon Hamilton my son!!!!!

[NOPSTNS]

heres an idea, lets announce spoiler alert....ive missed round 13 and 14 and hearing about vettel sounds like a race i wish i saw before reading this

i dont have cable i watch the races a few days afterwards over the internet. SPEED coverage is ok but ITV is way better. its the european coverage, the camera works is way better...

im a lewis hamilton fan. i love ferrari as a brand but lewis shows real skill and ive seen him come back from 10 -12 places down to finishing 1st and in formula one that takes serious driving!

im going to see an F1 race this coming summer, im going to the grand prix du canada in june!
