Everyone else gets an official thread, so I want one too.
I've seen several people make mentions of F1 on here. So, I'm giving us a thread. No more Speed bs coverage. NBC looks like they are taking it serious and will have some good coverage.
With DVRs now, it's no longer a pain in the ass to watch the races. So watch them and discuss
And if you don't watch F1. You suck. Best racing on the planet.

Did you notice the other 21 cars on the track? [Reply]

Not really, although TV did spend an inordinate amount of time on the 8-9 battle. Pretty engrossing stuff there finding out who would eke out the 8 spot. I just think wire-to-wire winning is lame but maybe you enjoy that type of racing? [Reply]

Sure, I enjoy watching the race unfold behind the leader. [Reply]

And you missed Alonso's fabulous drive to go from 6th on the grid to 2nd on the podium. DiResta's and Massa's drives were also phenomenal. Even a backmarker team, Scuderia Toro Rosso, put a car in the top 10. [Reply]

Thanks, ill be on the lookout for the rebroadcast.
I just set my DVR to record everything F1 and have it as a high priority on the series manager. [Reply]

Most complete driver (car skill, tire management, intelligence, not seeing "red"). I'd say that Kimi is the most talented car handler. Lewis for sheer speed. [Reply]

I would put Kimi before Lewis. Kimi is a beast. The pace he has pulled out of the Lotus has been nothing short of amazing. If you give him a car that doesn't chew up tires then he always has a shot to win the race. [Reply]
