Formula One Racing

Yeh I watch it when I'm not busy. Have watched it for a while now. First race I remember watching was in 1993, although I didnt really know much about it, only that it looked "cool".

This year could go down to the wire again. Ferrari and Mclaren have finally sorted themselves out and are just as quick as Red Bull in the race now, if not quicker (at least in the hands of Alonso and Hamilton). Was a great race yesterday and thankfully only a few days to the next.

That's a wild video! I got serious about watching F1 fifteen years ago when I was living in New Orleans and was a regular at an English Pub frequented by a lot of British expats. They would often open at about 5:00 a.m. to show F1 broadcasts on Speed from Europe. Sometimes the place just never closed from the night before. I always favored Mansell during that era! What a terrific driver and team!

I'm hoping Lewis Hamilton can hang in this year and see more time at the podium. Of course, as an American I'm hoping the U.S. can muster a F1 team soon. There are some talented America drivers in NASCAR and the Indy Race League that could hang in F1 but it would take commitment and a lot of money and time to become competitive.

Anyone going to the 2012 US Grand Prix in Austin?

Who in the UK is pissed about todays coverage announcement? I have Sky, so I wont really miss out on coverage, but the BBC is the spirtual home of F1. Bernie Eccelstone has some nerve dealing with the Murdoch's, particurly after the hacking scandal with the New Of The World.

Heartless, souless, mindless, senseless bastards.

Jody,
Thanks for posting those vintage tapes of Mansell. They were very exciting!

Check out You Tube for BBC DOcumentary on the late great Ayrton Senna and marvel at his mastery and sheer talent at the wheels of an F1 car, esp the wheel to wheel flat out sparks flying dice with Mansell (whereMansell comes out on top), then check out the on board footage of one of his flying Quali laps at Monaco - simply breathtaking.
This week, in my town, the new movie - "Senna"finally opens at the Cinemas and I cannot wait to see it.....
