i love F1 but you're right there are what, 5 of us? sadly though we had the first half of the season that was good and competitive but now it's just turning back into red bull/sebastian vettel show of the past two years to where once he breaks out a big lead within 4 laps of the race, i lose interest and barely pay attention or take a nap on and off until it's over. sometimes i even start to lose interest in the weekend once qualifying is over just knowing there really isn't much point in watching the race because you have a 98% chance of already knowing who the winner will be. i just really do not like sebastian vettel.

I understand.

Gotta ask, did you watch in the early 2000's?

Kinda the same boat, and it doesn't help that I usually have to drag myself out of bed at 5am after a Saturday night out, or stay up that late just to watch.

Red Bull and Vettel are the real deal, but they could wind up winning out the remainder of the season.

I understand.

early 2000's was pretty much my starting point of watching but no where near the level of interest i have now.

Those were dark days. If you don't like Ferrari.

I don't like Vettel either.

just plain awesome

Sebastian Vettel will start the Abu Dhabi GP from the back of the grid after being excluded from qualifying for failing to have enough fuel for a sample.

You can't pass on this track. I will be amazed if Vettel finishes better than 8th.

if alonso can take advantage of this it could be his to lose, again

13 points to play for. If Alonso can get 2nd then he is in a good spot.

This also makes me so sad about McLaren's failures. If Lewis won Singapore and had a decent finish in Korea, he would be in with a shout for this championship.

I hate McLaren so damn much. Funny how all of hamilton's car failures happen after he announces he is changing teams.

 

[doozer]

Lol

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I hope next years McLaren is an absolute dog, and they get to see how useless button is.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Sad to see Kimi with a shot to take a win.

 

[Godfatha]

Go Kimi go!

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Go Kimi go!

Looks good so far!

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Wow a crash involving GrowJohn.

Can't believe it.

 

[Godfatha]

Dumb move by Perez. Makes the race a lot more interesting though.

 

[Godfatha]

Sorry about Hamilton, Nerd. As a Kimi and Mac fan during the 2000s, I can empathize.

 

[Godfatha]

Wow a crash involving GrowJohn.

Can't believe it.

We knew that was a train wreck waiting to happen.

 

[Godfatha]

Kimi is such an ass. Lol

 

[doozer]

Classic Kimi.
