Re: Who we support and why?

No one at all really. Eight or so years of watching has told me it is better to just avoid all the misery and disappointment altogether and try and stay as neutral as possible. As the Chinese proverb says "If you want the rainbow, you must put up with the rain" and really things like the almost pai...

Re: will experience count come Sunday.

Weell, I don't know if racing a specific circuit is like riding a bike, but I'd believe that even though they've raced it before - a decade ago! - they'll have to practise it as much as everybody else. They do afterall have new cars and everything and sure, if they've learnt a trick or two about the...

Re: Does Ferrari have to much historical Baggage.

Ferrari is Ferrari. It's like Manchester United. Expectations are always high and people are always going to talk about you and have diverse opinions. It's a privilege. It's what they are used to and the reason that they will find a way to reach the top again imo Even with Sir Ferguson gone? I mean...

Re: 2014 Canadian GP Race Thread

As the newbie I am I'm just gonna jump into the thread and say it was def the best race so far this season. Exciting from the first to the very last lap. Even though I felt for Massa when he was so close to getting some reward for his hard work, and again was stopped by a crash (I'd rather just for...

Re: Who we support and why?

With my grandpa having watched F1 for decades, I grew up with it on the TV in the background. And I remember asking him one day; "Why do you watch it when you know who'll win anyways?" My question was sincere because I actually didn't understand that anybody else but Schumacher could win (yes I was ...

Re: Fresh rumours Caterham folding with immediate effect...

I have a feeling Fernandes is more interested in football than F1. Sheer speculations by a amateur: I must say I'm shocked Ericsson made it into an F1 seat this year, not that it hasn't been discussed for a couple of years but I guess what got him there was the big amount of sponsorship money - and ...
