Still clinging onto a Vettel dream? How amusing is that.

Vettel will probably continue to get beaten by his teammate this year.

There is a lot of racing left.

As much as I loathe Vettel RBR will get their **** together when racing comes back to Europe. Red Bull has the money to dump whatever resources they need into the car once it comes back home.

Even if Ricciardo has been doing better than Vettel by excitement of the previous races, by result Vettel is doing better than Ricciardo. Vettel is sitting on 23pts Ricciardo on 12.

Even with the RB10 being rubbish during testing. It has the pace, it's not Mercedes pace but I wouldn't count them out just yet.

I watched Senna on Tuesday and Rush last night.

I had little to no previous F1 knowledge.

What's the best way to learn about the sport (other than watching the races of course)?

What's the most exciting thing about this season so far other than the new engines?

Thanks!

Welcome!

What interests you about F1? The racing, the drivers? The technology?

Check out Peter Windsor's youtube channel, the f1 subreddit, f1's website, etc. If you like podcasts or have a decent commute to and from work, formula1blog.com's podcast is good to listen to.

What's the most exciting thing this year? Hard to say. Everything is good so far

I don't think the problem is with the car. RBR has a great chassis, I think their problem is Renault.

Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes driver), his gf is Nicole Scherzinger. There's rumors that they are engaged...

Brundle made a good point during the Bahrain race. McLaren is going to Honda power next year which leaves Mercedes an opportunity to supply another team. Ferrari is the only team that can not have the Mercedes engine and RBR is probably not happy with Renault.

We could also see Red Bull going to Honda as well.

I just like sports in general really. I try to give every sport a fair shake and have never really followed racing. F1 certainly seems like the most interesting one to watch.

I guess for now it would be the racing and the technology, since I don't know much about the drivers.

See... I supported McLaren with Senna, Mika, and Kimi.

I still mainly follow the drivers though. Vettel and Kimi primarily.

I think I bought that jacket in 2005.

If you wants to get an idea of the last year's F1 season


Here are a bunch of technology heavy/driver history vids.

I have 1976-2008 Season Reviews. You bring 64gb+ flash drive or HDD to a meet, and I can transfer for you.

Or maybe I can throw it on an old one I got and mail it to you.
