Re: Do you watch F1 alone?

Yes. My wife has zero interest and the friends I have who follow F1 live miles and miles away. Too bad, I'd like to watch it with others who are passionate about it.

My wife also has the fantastically annoying habit of talking to me EVERY TIME they put up team radio bits.
