not really a big fan but i used to enjoy watching it with my grandad i still watch it with my nan now an then i like watchin most racing especially wrc

 

[jcs]

F1 is a hump of **** these days. no contact sport no challenge.

btcc and wrc much beta

 

[LAD VXL]

But its all up in the air now Schumachers gone

 

[Hoggy]

should be an interesting season i think

 

[Coleman]

looking forward to see what lewis hamilton can do, and what the new teams will be like

 

[V0NST3V3]

With no shuey, should be much better, and now we have Spyker, wonder how they will do. love driver 19's name, Scott Speed, sounds like some sort of superhero lol

 

[RISELEY]

aint watched it in a couple of years now lost some interest, might start watching again, used to love it back in the day

 

[RISELEY]

also out of curiosity why is it in Italy 2 times in a season?

 

[V0NST3V3]

Have to say i still prefer to watch Moto GP, or Touring Cars, so much more interesting.

Used to find with F1 it was only worth watching the start and the finnish cos nothing much happend in the middle.

one is the San Marino grand prix one is the itallian

Where's the Ban button again CJ?

I love F1. dont know if it will be as good (IMO) with no Schumacher there

 

[dearing5]

F1 is ****e

 

[Coleman]

i think it's going to be much more open than previous years with no schumacher. you've got lewis hamilton, in his first f1 season but driving for mclaren. i also think it's going to be interesting to see what spyker can come up with. there might be a boycott as well in australia, over red bull racing and torro rosso using the same chassis.

i dislike him considerably. He is rude lol. First time ron dennis spoke to him (when he was 10 iirc) he thought he was a spoilt brat lol.

Im glad he's with Mclaren. He'll get to the front and then 3 laps from the end his car will pack up

sorry for expressing an honest opinion. look at gp in the early 90s compared to now. there was overtaking back then

lookin at cefax today i see Lewis Hamilton has 3rd fastest times in practice. pretty amazing for a first seasonn. the bloke will do well seein as hes won every championship hes entered.

arnt spkyer just the new minardi really?

I'm only joking mate :thumbs_up:

Yeah they brought minardi.

I'll like to see how he performs in the first race really. Its the cars that will let him or alonso down i think

 

[Lee]

I remember the good old days of Williams Renault and Benetton. Damon hill and Schumacher having tussles.
Used to always watch it when I was a kid, just find it shockingly boring these days.

 

[jcs]

Dont read too much into practice times mate. They dont just test for a fastest lap, they may have tried different fuel loads, set ups, tyre wear etc. :thumbs_up:
