Formula 1

[SotonShades]

Quite possibly the geekiest of motorsports and deffinitely my favourite. Itt helps being a graduate from the same university engineering school as one of the most successful designers, along with our own DrLove.

How many other F1 fans do we have on BoLS? Have you been enjoying this increadible 2012 season as much as i have? Just watching the Forum on the BBC iPlayer, and have Eddie Jordan and Jenson Button talking about this being a golden age of formula 1. With the last 3 seasons, I could fully well believe it.

I've always been a big fan of the McLarens (don't tell anyone... I may be applying for an internship at Red Bull) and am loving the lower team battles supporting Force India. Hell, I've even got a big soft spot for the Caterhams (formally Team Lotus). How many other sports can you support 3 teams who are officially competing in the same race at the same level, but realistically still be in 3 distinct brackets?

I'm a massive F1 fan, have been for over 20 years. I've supported Jenson since he first appeared as he was the only ENGLISH driver, it was Mr. Hill before that.

It's going to be a great season, 3 different winners from 3 different teams so far, proof that Adrian Newey is not infallible, DRS seems to be working well and Pirelli are still delivering.

I was not happy with the Sky deal but when I found out that as an HD customer I got the F1 channel anyway I calmed down slightly. I could do without the bird from A League of their Own though.

Count me in.
I don't have the F1 channel and can't justify the extra spend. I'm gutted. The highlights just don't cut it. I miss all the fanfare before hand like the grid walk.

I thought the last part of China was great. I'm loving the fact that we are getting a nice mix of drivers doing well.

[SotonShades]

with you on that. The BBC coverage for the last 2 years was amazing; never failed to dissapoint. I don't have sky either, so kind of missing it. At least the full race highlights mean we don't miss the action. I worked during all but one or two races last season, so I've gotten used to not seeing them live (and ducking and diving to avoid seeing or hearing any of the results :P).

Very few things get my heart racing like tha sound of Fleetwood Mac and roaring engines on a saturday or sunday

I enjoy following it, but can rarely find the time (and sometimes patience) to sit and watch the whole thing.

Last year actually bored me quite a lot. It was just...."Oh ...Red Bull won again. Shocking". This year it seems to be...more balenced?

I am very fan of F1 since Prost-Senna times...

Even later, with Nigel Mansell.

Now, of course, you can imagine that, as our spaniard man Alonso is on the Championship for some years now, I am following the races with more interest...

But I am very dissapointed with Ferrari. They have done crap for the last 2 years... only the hability of Fernando made the car win races like Malaysia

I can't believe they're still going ahead with the Bahrain GP....

I can't believe they're still going ahead with the Bahrain GP....

Yes, they´re... all thanks to Mr Ecclestone, the "Scrooge" of this sport, his hunger of money is unstoppable... even when all the advices tell to don´t celebrate the race there... he opposses to all teams and the race will go.

If I were on any F1 team I wouldn´t do my make efforts... and try to make a neutral race

I feel infinitely lucky to live 20 minutes from the Circuit Of The Americas track. It's gonna be a good year with the Super V8 and F1 circuits both making appearances! Whooo!

I like not paying for the cable package I enjoy. The PVR helps too, as most races end up airing at 1am West Coast time.

This year is a lot more interesting. As much as I like Vettel, I think it's better for everyone when the field is tighter. Shanghai was great! As for Bahrain, I only started hearing about all that stuff when I started digging for info on the unsafe release fine after Schumacher's retirement from Shanghai. I guess there's too much "hockey" going on right now to care about any other sport
