I love Formula 1 so much. I am fan of Ferrari, i like michael schumacher strategy and the teams strategy. i dont like juan pablo montoya, he is not a responsible driver. how about you guys, what team you like and dislike and who is your favorite driver.

You know, I like to watch F1 when it is on the T.V., but they don't show it very much here in Albuquerque. I don't know what it is that I like to watch... the speed, the course, or maybe I am just sick and am waiting for a crash. I know thats why I watch NASCAR /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

What is it about F1 that you prefer of say something like NASCAR? Or, do guys who watch F1 also like to watch NASCAR because racing is racing?

As for the team... Renault seems to draw my attention. Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella make a good tandem.

nascar doesn't really get much play over in britain, so that's not really an alternative. it's touring cars, rallying, gp2, or at a pinch some bike racing. f1 doesn't hold my attention in the way it once did, though this season looks like it could have a thrilling climax.

favourite current driver would be jenson button, largely for patriotic reasons, though also because he's a good lad. took a photo with my brother once (and jenson's lucious girlfriend) and he seemed a really solid fella. but my all time number one is senna. the man was a racing genius, able to will his car to do things other drivers simply couldn't find. it's a real shame he pooped his clogs when he did because there would've been a classic confrontation between senna and schumacher: two men determined to win, and with the skill to accomplish great things. he was a real thinker, too, which is rare for a sportsman. though i'm not sure if he was an athlete... /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

why do i enjoy f1? for the same reason as most sports, i guess: the competition and the personalities. though with f1 there's the added advantage of pit babes in rediculously tight clothing!

what lf said. i used to watch it more than i do now.

don't like Nascar. they are just driving around in circles. bleh.

f1 drivers seem to be among the most fit overal sportsmen out there, which does not really surprise me ever since I karted for the first time a couple years ago. i was frikken exhausted after 30 minutes pedal-to-the-metal racing.

and the pit babes. nyam-nyam.

ferrari-fanboy here.

Also a big Michael Shumacher Fan. Do you think he will win the championship this year? I hope so, bought a ticket to go and watch his last race in Brazil. Will be great if he wins the championship there

i also love watching F1
im not really a die hard schumacher fan, but i love it when he beats Renault
i don't really have a team that i follow, so it's pretty much everyone except renault

being aussie, i cant help but support mark webber, but he's had it quite tough this season
so many DNF due to car reliability and not driver fault

but yea id really like to see michael leave the sport with another championship next to his name
love him or hate him, he has been a huge asset to the sport, and i will miss not having him around next season

Schumacher is retiring... I'm sad.

Schumacher + Ferrari = Formula1 racing


I wish he can win the last 2 races so that he can get his 8th Driver's Championship.


Good Luck Mike!!!!

what do we all reckon?
can
schuey do it?

maybe he should ring brother ralf that morning and say, "mate, i need a favour...would you mind clipping mr alonso at turn 1?"

it will take a miracle, but this guy is nothing short of a motorsport god

for me it will be televised at 2:30am which is not great
also i have an exam a couple of hours later
so i will definately be asleep which a bit of a bummer since ive managed to watch all the races throughout the season

hope he does it
