Yeah I do know that. He does it on every thread I post on. He hinted I was a drugs dealer the other day, but shut his fat mouth when he was asked to clarify. My post here was just incredulity at the fact he was actually watching it as clarified by his posts.

In fairness it was a pretty tedious race. Although the groundhog did liven it up a little.

Well it appears the fans have spoken. Think this was probably my favorite snippet "88 percent said F1 needs to feature the best drivers in the world, but only 45 percent think that it does" and yes we're looking at you Pastor

Its certainly a hot topic for debate. I read one article today that claims there are no significant numbers of new supporters of F1 so there is no balance to the 'rose tinted' tyre war and refueling argument.

Also very interesting that Ferrari, Mclaren and Williams are the most popular teams.

An F1 race worth watching ?

Any chance the rain might disturb the usual procession?!

Even if that is a troll-worthy remark, it's a sad indictment of your life if it's anywhere near truthful.

over exuberance from Lewis provides a decent race at last

Didn't Massa get a great one

Hi,
Loved the BBC coverage today - especially the intro from Suzi and Murray Walkers cameo appearance.
Great result!
Cheers
Steve

Well I can honestly say the cars actually sound as tragic as they do on TV Even the Porsche Super Cup cars made a better noise.

So it's actually now the "who is an actual F! fan" and "moan about F1" thread.

Sigh.

Well done Lewis - a proper race.
