Topic: Formula 1 - Any Fans..? Posted: 22-Aug-2007 at 10:22 |
I didn't used to watch it, but now I love it..
My favourite driver is Louis Hamilton, even though he's British..
Any big fans and who's your favourite driver?

Why would I give a load of cars running around a circuit a chance?

Yep, remember me old man taking me to see the 1986 British Grand Prix and Ive been hooked ever since.
I would recommend getting along to see an event if possible, even if its just a qualifying day, the noise and the speed of the cars is just incredible, it really doesnt translate to the television.

I've been watching Formula 1 for years when I lived in Munich. It is exciting to watch, and the manuevers, and intricacies of the track are intriguing, and captivating once you get into it. Unfortunately it isn't as easy to acess here in the US as it is in Europe. Nascar, and other junk like that here is just painful to watch.

I enjoy watching F1 when it is actually shown here in the U.S. My favorite driver was Michael Schumacher, I hadn't even realized he had retired till like three months ago. Unless you get the SPEED channel here F1 is shown maybe three times a year. My current favorite active driver is Kimi Raikkonen.

....I generally enjoy F1 and have done for some years now, but the recent Belgium grand prix was abysmal...stunningly boring except for the first corner from the start, when Alonso made his intentions perfectly clear to Hamilton that the 'Spaniard' was still in the fight!!!!....(i spent most of the race wondering how Hitler had planned the Ardennes offensive and how such beautiful countryside could be wrecked by such war havoc...)
....have to go with Mickey Schumacher as the best driver i have ever seen in F1, when he ffirst started racing, i noted that he would either kill himself or become the best F1 driver the sport has ever seen, well, he became the best as far as i am concerned.....have a soft spot for Kimi Raikkonen as he has got to be the most 'coldest' unstimulating personality in F1 , but his driving is superb, he deserves to be a champion one day....
