Im a HUGE fan of any open-wheel racing (so F1 and Indy) as well as endurance racing. I was at Sebring for the 12 hour the last 2 years and its a hella good time.

Watch LIVE!

Qualy now! Delayed for 15 min with the heavy rain at the track.

I try and watch them live. Yes, crazy! As far as Indy goes... it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't run it like a dog's breakfast. And they were the first to kill the sound of those engines like F1 has done this year.

I usually watch them live, since I don't have DVR, plus those odd hours are the time that I am free to watch the race..

I don't hate any drivers, except Lewis Hamilton. Ugh. I feel so bad for Riccardo, 2 straight disappointing weeks

I have been watching about 6 F1 races a year for the last couple of years, so I decided to catch all the races this year. I am starting to rethink this as the Malaysian race was one of the all-time most boring races I have ever witnessed. Sorry to disagree with Niki Lauda...the hybrid engines are completely stupid IMHO. I am so disappointed

Hopefully the Bahrain race will turn me around. Love the cars and the tracks, but I absolutely have no favorite driver as they are completely boring.

Sorry to be critical if you love F1. Hopefully someone can talk sense into me

Rationale from Williams here on Autosport: Malaysian GP: Williams denies favouritism in Bottas/Massa row - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com

Massa wont suffer as the team gained the same amount of points and Botox had 56 laps to pass him and didnt - so who cares LOL!
Hulk should be at Ferrari but right now he is in a car almost as fast and Im betting next year he isnt in a slow one(Mclaren anyone?)
Season is great! Too much bitching about noise etc. The cars have torque more errors are being made and who will ever catch Mercedes??? Big parties around my area tonight near Stuttgart!

I'm happy Hamilton won! I guess I'm in the minority here. I actually met Hamilton in London in 2010. Nice enough guy....really short.

Those engine choices by F1A, were to keep Renault in F1. The series could not afford to lose them, so they caved.

LostSol · 03-30-2014, 03:54 PM

I don't have a big problem with the engine swap, it actually makes things interesting since there are actually engine failures and teething problems that help make things interesting. I do have a problem with the sound! Even Indy cars have a small V6 turbo and they sound better, and that's sad!! They need to make them louder stat.

Yeah, the sound is my major complaint. I am watching the IRL and NASCAR races to get my engine roar fix right now. The DRS and KERS are things that definitely keep me interested. The IRL cars look and sound so much better than the F1 cars, but they are all cool.

I'm interested in seeing the outcome of Massa not following team orders. Hulkenberg definitely deserves a drive with a major player. Maldonado needs to gtfo of F1. So many more great drives from most of the grid, I'm definitely happier with this season so far. __________________ Tracie
