The Formula 1 season has finally returned with todays race in Bahrain. I love wathcing these races, although I usually wait for the rebroadcast instead of getting up at 4:30 to watch it live. Anybody else into F1? I tend to be a Mercedes/Mclaren fan since I own an MB and usually root for Juan Pablo Montoya over Kimi since I saw him face to face once at the Denver Grand Prix many moons ago.

My fav driver is still Alex Zanardi. He has been one of my favorites since 1998, He lost both of his legs at Eurospeedway Lausitz. And he still made a comeback! Fantastic driver!

F1 is awesome. Personally I a a Kimi fan but Juan Pablo is cool. I am just happy kimi made such a comeback from 22'nd to third.

McLaren has a great package this year... V8's should be cool to watch! (Hopefully they don't explode too many of them!)

At 20,000rpm I'm surprised more of them don't explode...

F1 is a beautiful sport. Why I bold that is because all other "sports" are a game. Racing is one of the few real sports where your life is put at stake. And not to mention it has a great "soundtrack". After all, the only music you need for racing is the sound of your engine hitting redline, accompanied with the vocals by your exhaust ;D.

Sport: An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.

Game: An activity providing entertainment or amusement; a pastime.

Yeah, it's both.

I was trying to sound smart and cool like this guy narrating a F1 tribute I saw sometime back.

Monaco on the 28th, can't wait. I'm trying to get tickets now to next years race, bit pricey though.

GTI2007 · May 30, 2006

Fernando Alonso won the Monaco GP.

Naughty, naughty Schumacher... He's lucky the FIA even let him start. Single lap qualifying is what we need!!!

Is anyone else watching the US Grand Prix? These guys need to calm down a bit before somebody gets hurt.

I don't think it's just luck that he's lacking...

10bv01 · Jul 3, 2006

i agree with PMAZ, although i would love to be all patriotic and cheer for scott speed, he kinda SUCKS compared to the rest of the field.

GTI MKV · Jul 3, 2006

i missed it earlier today so i am watching it later tonight ( 30 minutes until race time ) i am hoping Alonzo will take out Shumacher (cant spell)

GranTurismoInjection · Jul 3, 2006

I want Ayrton Senna back :'(

10bv01 · Jul 31, 2006

Schumacher does it again, I'd love to see him become the world champion this year. Alonso is just off his game, he's not racing up to par, now is Michael's chance to take advantage of this and run away with the title. Good luck Michael!!!

Well the season has started up again, who do you guys like this year?
