    for about the 1st time in 2 or three years I watched an F1 race last nite. Have to say it wont be misssed. BTC or superbikes is a lot more interesting.

    So that raises the question: Why do you watch F1, or indeed why not?

    I've been watching F1 only since I caught the Austrailian GP in 1999 when Irvine won his first ever race. That was a fantastic season, apart from Schumacher breaking his leg, and 2000 was another great season. So I've been hooked since then, and supporting Juan Pablo since he signed for Williams.
    I think it's a great sport, granted the races have been dull on occasion over the past couple of seasons, but I bet it's the most exciting thing in the world to actually be at the racetrack and see the race live.

    i'd say i've been watching regularly since around 97-98. i consider F1 my sport the way others have football, i don't like football but i like F1.

    yes there have been some dull races this season but people have short members last season was very good imo, the first three races where great and the championship kinda went down to the line. the new rules while scorned did make things more interesting. i have been watching for years and will continue to do so as i enjoy it, i'll sit there roaring at the tv egging some one on as he makes a move or whatever and i live in hope of a schumacher not getting a championship

    i went to monza last year with a friend of mine and was sitting at ascari was quality stuff. much different then being back home, we don't appreciate the distance people have gone to, the crap seats they may have, but the sheer noise of it is phenomonal. perchance i go inter railing this summer i might slip down to the hungarian grand prix if i'm not in america.

    can't understand how someone could ever watch football for example. It's slow, boring, there's no body contact and a slim chance of injury. Whereas F1 is fast, interesting on a technical as well as a entertaining level, and as for chance of injury? Try a high chance of fatality. (Although they've really tightened up the rules and as we all know rules make things less interesting)

    As for me?
    I've been following F1 since the days when I puked while Murray Walker shouted Mika Hakkinin and I puked all over some couple's flat and subsequently got them evicted- great days!
