Yes mate!
I'm the one that flew off the back of Alonso's Renault in Hungary.

oooh...yes!
Used to be a diehard but not so much anymore - not the same characters as their used to be and the coverage here in the US is pathetic (I was spoiled by the BBC commercial free presentation during my childhood and then ITV's coverage with limited commercials was great). Been a fan since 88'.
Watched some amazing races over the years. Mansell and Senna used to be great, along with Prost and Piquet, some great rivalries.
Bloody hate Scummer...erm' I mean Schumacher. He is a cheat and does not deserve his status. The Renaults were rigged with traction control/launch control, he wiped out Damon Hill, tried to wipe out Jaques Villenueve, everything went against Mclaren with all Ferrari's protests (dual braking system etc) and what the f@#* was he thinking in Monaco this year!?!

Yes. I;ve ben watching F1 on TV here in Australia since we got it way back in the early 80s. Don't think I've missed one race. Got married on 1993 and my beautiful wife to be asked if there were going to be any races on during our honeymoon! Said she'd change the date if there was! No, there weren't!

yeap, i'm a new fan but quickly got attached to this sport. not only the racing itself but the other things like the science stuff, drivers' personalities, and even the politics. (the magazine F1 Racing sure tells a lot)

I like Formula 1 but not a nut.

I've been around since the days of Senna and have only missed races while in the military. What a magical man he was. I used to be such a freak that I would video tape the races. A little obsesive but now I just watch. GO RUBENS!!!

I spend my Sunday nights (I'm in Australia) locked up in my room, with the TV on, wearing a Ferrari hat, my little Ferrari podium lego toy with the two Ferrari driver figurines occupying the top two steps of the podium (my good luck charm), playing PS2 formula 1 game during ad breaks (at the same track, of course), and in the morning, doing Michael/Kimi/Alonso impersonations of them doing post-race interviews (Michael: "Yeah, obviously you can see what happened on the TV..." Kimi: "For sure, we are a little bit disappointed but er...it's like this sometimes" Alonso: "I was doing my maximum, the tyres were fantastic, 2nd is a perfect result for us"). When I go to put petrol in my car (at Shell...same as Ferrari..but driving a 1986 Mitsubishi), I'm thinking fuel loads ("damn, I only have $10...well, splash and dash then!") and strategy ("groceries, then post office, then bank") and traffic when I rejoin...bit sad really!!
