Not sure if this is the right forum to post this topic in but it's on TV! Anyone else following F1 this season? I can't wait till Korea this weekend!

I am! I've watched all this season so far and started watching it about half way through last year after I went go-karting and got a bit obsessed with anything related! Who do you want to win? I'd like Button to, but it's not looking likely. I also like Vettel. Have you been go-karting? It's awesome :wink:

Never been go-karting but would love to!! I love F1 so much, been following it since 1996 but this season is definitely one of the best. I'm a big Mark Webber fan but I don't think he'll win either :( looks like it's going to be Alonso because the remaining circuits suit the Ferraris more than the Red Bulls :(. I'd like Button to win too, but he's already won a championship so it would be nice for Webber because he's never won, he's been in F1 for ages and Vettel's young so he'll have another chance. I think Vettel's probably the fastest driver, but he's not as experienced as Button, Webber or Alonso. Should be a good race this weekend though!

I've missed the past few races but overall it's been pretty good this season. It's hard for me to like Vettel though - he's been acting like a spoilt brat at times. I like Button and Webber, but if I remember correctly their chances weren't looking so good.

Go-karting is something I'd love to take up. :)

Wasn't very impressed with this morning's race :( felt really sorry for both Webber and Vettel. Looks like Alonso's going to be world champion again...

I was really disappointed for them too. My least favourite drivers are Alonso and Hamilton. It's just something about them... So I wasn't pleased with them both being on the podium. I'm really hoping the Red Bulls can catch up in the next two races.

I know what you mean- they're my least favourite drivers too. Fingers crossed for Brazil...

i would like to see nico rosburg win a race. maybe he can get paired with alonso at ferrari after massa loses his seat.

got to go to monaco race many years ago. intense. met piers courage outside monte carlo casino, what a great guy. too bad he wasn't able to race longer

an inexpensive way to go racing is autocross. corvette clubs and the scca hold events all over the country. all you need is a helmet and a safe vehicle that will pass a rigorous inspection. huge fun for the buck.

here's hoping the senna movie gets wide distribution.

The word is over-rated.Why is there Spanish sporting personalities winning everything,they win the world cup,Nadal is male number one in tennis,
Contador wins Tour de France and Lorenzo wins Moto GP. Webber has already lost his chance winning the title and will never win one.

Not necessarily- mathematically he can still win. Although I agree it's going to be hard, especially with Alonso on a fast streak atm...I can't wait till Brazil at the weekend though!

Glad Hulkenburg's pole, nice to see someone other than the top drivers getting pole for a change! Should be a good race tomorrow...

nico's pole will be a big boost for williams. and for his chance for a drive next year. i remember frank williams before he went off the road and broke his neck. funny, f. w. and i have the same three vertebra broken. how he has managed to keep his team together all these years while being in a chair is amazing.

i'm betting massa crashes while pushing too hard. he really likes to do well at his home grand prix.

maybe seb v will be seb v and will take out weber , alonso, hamilton at the first turn.

a win for michael s.? i bet he wants to win so bad he would be willing to kill someone for a first place finish.

out of the top 4 i think alonso will win the championship. i pick weber and seb v to take each other out next week.

too bad the hulk couldn't do better in his home race.

I think Alonso will probably win too :( by choosing not to switch Webber and Vettel, Red Bull have basically given him the championship. Although I can see where Christian Horner's coming from, if Webber goes off and he's given him more points, Vettel will be in a horrible position. I'm glad RB have won the constructor's though, I like Christian Horner.

Good race though, although it would have been nice for Hulkenburg to get a podium. I still hope Webber gets the championship though...Alonso's won twice before. Can't believe there's only one week left :( I hate the 4 month gap between seasons!

looks like the championship might be decided at the first turn of the first lap. lewis and seb v will probably crash and alonso will drive off into the sunset.....literally.

button looks racy, wonder if he knew mclaren were talking to other young guns.

nico rosburg looked good for a lap or two.

hope everyone is watching in high def. makes an amazing difference.
