Been a F1 follower for many years.

Really looking forward to Kimi driving one of those Italian red cars and Fernando one of those German silver bullets.

Gonna miss Schuey, too. :(

I've been a fan since I was a kid.....I'm actually glad shuie has left...he won it so many times that he was getting boring....give some new blood to run and win.....hopefully this yr it will be interesting....

Alonso is going to be tuff for awhile I think Kimi can do it with a little luck on his side. Hope Scott Speed can do a good showing this year to.

Re: Formula 1 anyone!

i hear what you are saying but you have to admit he is one of the greatest drivers ever, to be able to come from the back of the grid and win which he did a few times.


being a brit i am hoping that jenson can do us proud this year.

I love F1, I just wish I could have a few minutes in one of the cars to see if I could shift it from the "wheel" without a clutch. :p

Follow it?... no, not since I gave up TV.

Re: Formula 1 anyone!

Drove a F1 car in 1961. Lotus. . .don't remember the model. GADZOOKS!! Just around the track once. And that was without the aero stuff.

They are a lot faster now. I don't see how the drivers stand the G forces they deal with.

I have to decide who to root for:

Scott Speed, the Yank?
Kimi Raikonnen, my favorite driver?
Fernando Alonzo driving my favorite car, the McLaren/Mercedes?
Jensen Button, the most underrated driver?

I guess I will end up rooting for the driver who is showing the most competitiveness in that particular race.

Re: Formula 1 anyone!

whoa i bet that was cool to drive a F1 car when they where driven without all the techno stuff.

i agree i think kimi will do well in the ferrari it was a shame for him last year being hampered with a car that had a lot of failures.

i am still a fan of ferrari but secretly want jenson to do really well i think he is underrated and who knows maybe he could win the championship 8)
