Anyone Watch/ a Fan of F1?

I am a big fan of F1 and car-racing in general. I'm trying to watch as many races as possible live, though I usually have to skip races which are being held in other, more exotic time-zones. I will definitely watch the first race as Albert Park is one of my favourite circuits.

Anyone particular you cheer for? I've always liked McLaren and Jenson Button, but I'm also very happy when Finnish (our closest neighbors) drivers do well.

[Chelmsford_yid]

Well always cheers on the GB guys, and I also do like team Lotus.

    I always try and watch F1, problem is apart from the races in Asia and obviously Oz, all the others are on late at night, and at my age I need my beauty sleep. Living in Melbourne gives me the opportunity to enjoy the build-up, and work takes me right past Albert Park during the week prior. Button, Hamilton and Vettel are the three Drivers I enjoy watching.

Have you ever been to a F1 race at Albert Park?

[Yiddite]

Also like F1.
Particularly Mclaren and JB as he is (was) a "local" lad.
But any garage/driver tied to UK e.g. Red Bull, Lewis etc.


Not normally that keen to be up at all hours but 0600 is ok

    Yes I went to the 2nd one at Albert Park, I was working at the Crown Casino in Melbourne and I had to 
act as Host to 20 Asian High Roller Guests of the Casino for Sat and Raceday, they had been flown in especially for the Grand Prix, and the Casino had a Box about 20 yards from the finishing line overlooking the Finishing Straight, and I along with the guests were given a guided tour of Pit Lane on Saturday, but Riff, the noise was absolutely deafening even wearing ear-plugs, but it was a great experience.

    Believe Me that Video is absolutely Spot-On, the Track for the rest of the year is a very busy road, I actually drove on the Track last Friday, I think they closed it on Sat 9th March to complete preparations for Practice which starts Thursday 14th March(Tomorrow) and I think it re-opens as a public thoroughfare two weeks after the race.

I also play lot of F1 2012 & 2011 on the Xbox which I use a wheel for too.

Luckily enough to have sky F1 channel also
