Any other F1 fans out there? It sometimes seems that we are few and far between. I'm excited for the upcoming season. Lots of interesting things going on during winter testing. McLaren seem either a little slow, or are sandbagging, big time! Brawn GP (formerly Honda F1) seem decently quick from the get go. Looks like it could be a very close season.

I like F1. By far the most technologically advanced and most expensive cars on the planet.

Cool link that was sent to me earlier today by Zac/hellomynameis:

Sometimes the amount of buttons on the steering wheel just seems a little ridiculous. But they are adding maybe two this year for KERS and the adjustable front wing.

I've watched a qualifying lap and a lap or two of race with a view that showed Fernando Alonso working the differential adjustment (left thumb wheel) 2-3 time a lap in the Renault. Almost justifies some of the controls they have on there.

I personally cannot wait for the season to start! ALMS and F1 are the two series I follow religiously during the year, and then I follow IRL nascar etc..

No idea. I like the enduro stuff, but they just take a little to long to keep me 100% into it.

WRC Cyprus Rally is this weekend! AU V8Supercars the weekend after, and then F1+V8SC the week after that! Racing season is here!!!

And its going to be below zero for a day or so here. I like F1 and catch what I can off SPEED and catch the rest from Ryan. We will epically fail in F1, mark my words.

I love watching F1 races, but it sucks I don't have cable here. F1, World Superbike, and Moto GP are my favorite motorsports to watch.
