It's a bit late in the season for formula one, but i couldn't find a page on the forum for it. Are there any F1 fans here? :)
-
Wouldnt say I was a super know it all but me and my partner watch it :)
#TeamRaikkonen
-
Yes! Haven't missed a single race in almost 10 years lol
-
I am in general, but if I miss a few races then it's easy to lose track of what's happening.

Massive f1 fan. I'm a mclaren head mostly. Huge button fan. Second team is lotus.
-
Man, don´t know what to do during the off season.
Just watched the BBC season review today.
-
I am a NASCAR fan, but I don't catch a lot of F1, I would watch it if I had the ability

Tell me about it.

So what were peoples thoughts on 2015? All i can say is thank god for vettel. Never thought id say that!
-
was fan of F1 but it got bored although im happy for mercedes and hamilton
-
Its a shame rosberg couldnt offer a consistent challenge and had the worst of the luck and reliability.
-
I love F1, just a shame that last year most of the races were on pay-tv, and we only got a one hour edited highlights on free to air tv.
-
I once was a huge fan of F1 and literally didn't miss any race in the space of 10 consecutive seasons, about 2002-2013, let's say. I cheered for M. Schumacher (especially at his comeback, an unsuccessful one, sadly) and Raikkonen, but I have to admit honestly that I find Alonso and Kubica were the really best drivers, both achieved much less than their talents needed to be prized.
Due to multiple financial and technical agreements and limitations, and also because of Vettel's regime (whom I truly, deeply hated, in the sport terms), the F1 completely lost my interest. I honestly don't know what's going on in that sport the last 2 seasons. Only heard about Mercedes being very successful.
-
I like F1 :)
-
Underway with testing for the new season. Mercedes and Ferrari look good after day one. McLaren look like theyve made some gains too
-
Well that's good to hear that McLaren is looking more competitive. It was shocking how bad the Honda engine was. Hopefully a bit of a closer year.
-
My prediction based on the day one results:
Mercedes
Ferrari
Red Bull
Williams/Mclaren
Force india
Renault
Sauber
Haas
Manor

Interesting that Mercedes have covered a huge amount of miles compared their nearest competition, over 100 laps each day without issues.
Basically looks like a bulletproof car, so wouldnt be suprised if the gap back to the rest is the same or has even increased a little
-
A big fan of F1 but honestly I can't watch every race . Guys have heard about the new coming rules and modifications ? . FIA says they gonna make F1 cars faster in curves and slower in straight lines what do you think about this ?

they can say all they like, teams will still do as they wish within the loopholes of the sport... best example of this Brabham BT46B and the Tyrrell P34... the rules didn't say they couldn't have 6 wheels and large fans pushing the car into the road... i'm sure they will find ways to make them just as fast if not faster in all areas that is after all their main aim... to be first over the line... plus the 2018 season is looking like it will have cockpit coverings of some kind meaning rule changes sooooooooo yeah at the moment the sport is just a lot of people at the top arguing over what they could do with no one knowing what they should do...

I think the sport is desperately trying to reconnect with its fans, failing to realise that the reason theyve tuned out is more to do with exclusive pay tv deals and high ticket prices. Accessibility and interaction is the issue.

well my husband and i are in the lucky position where cost is not really an issue we regularly attend the races around europe and have been to some in other countries but the main thing that we are just not enjoying is how out of touch the rule makers seem to be with what made the sport great... they are trying to make the cars more connected to road cars... porsche is always complaining that the sport is not connected enough with what they are doing with their road cars... that's not the point... they should just be given free reign to build what they want and show off real technological prowess make these into vehicles that really compete not just variations on the same design just with different paint jobs

Hi all,
I have only just stumbled upon this topic. It's great to find people who enjoy both nudity and motorsport!
Motorsport is a lifelong passion for me. I decided at the age of 13 that I would turn that passion into a career, so I trained as a journalist and I now work in the industry as a Press Officer for teams, drivers and brands at all levels of the sport, including Formula 1.
It means I'm constantly on the road, travelling to and from race meetings both in the UK and abroad, but I absolutely love it. It's true when they say; you don't work a day in your life when your job is your passion or your passion is your job.
There have been occasions when I've been able to indulge in a bit of nudity while working away. Just last year I visited a nude spa on my way back from the Red Bull Ring to Vienna, and I also found a load of naked people in a standard leisure centre during a trip to Salzburg for the FIA World Touring Car Championship in 2014 (Austria's a great place if you're a nudist!).
I'm currently trying to figure out which trips I might be able to extend and combine with some nakedness. Any ideas/suggestions would be welcome!
It would be cool to connect with fellow fans/nudies. Feel free to drop me a line.
Best,
Adam

Which is the best track from a spectators POV that youve been to Natter?
The rules change everytime one team gets an edge over others. It simply comes down to budget- if they want to level the playing field either put a budget cap on (tried before and impossible to police) or increase the revenue to the smaller teams.
-
to me the best track for spectators is always Monaco the atmosphere is just so wonderful always the best one we go to in the year, but from the other side, driving is always best on spa nothing like the hight changes and wonderful corners on that track, the best driving experience i have had is in a 60's Ferrari flat out round that track just felt so perfectly suited to eachother
-
Monaco and Spa?
You are one very Lucky Girl!
Favourite Driver?
-
Monaco is one of my favourite tracks as well besides Nurburgring they re both very technical where real skilled pilots can be admired performing .
-
favorite in history is Senna, but current it has to be Rosburg
-

I prefer rosberg to lewis kardashian.
Ricciardo would be my pick of the current crop. I was a long time Schumacher fan though from childhood.
-

really??? from britain and don't support lewis???? :confused
but as every year i hope ferrari will come out strong. it's time to bring the title home to maranello ;)
-
it's just different levels of driver... there are none out there like Senna or Schumacher right now... none who will go down as a real great no matter how many times they win... put any of them in a slower car than their competition and they lose... put senna in a milk float somone is getting lapped :P
-
well don't forget alonso! he always puts the best out of slower cars.
would be great to see all the f1 drivers in very similar cars just like the indycars.
-
@Natterpiller what do you personally think about Robert Kubica's skills compared to others? Do you think he stood out from the grid? Of course given the cars he was given LOL
-
alonso was good... so was Button... and raikkonen... but none of them seem to care any more so they just have lost that edge that got them where they were back in the schumacher years and the few years after
-
Aside from the rubbish new qualifying, a good start to the season. Good changes to clutch and radio regs have put a bit more emphasis on the drivers. Great to see ferrari closer than last year.
-
without alonso's incident mercedes would not have caught the ferraris... they had no chance till the red flag came out.
-
So Bahrain this weekend.
Staggeringly theyve kept the revised qualy. Nobody seems happy with it.
-
just give it a chance.
at least q1 and q2 were not that bad. just a few teams miscalculated the remaining time.
and as nearly all teammates started in the same row, the qualy could not be that exciting as the different cars make too different times. and that has nothing to do with the new style qualy...
-
from what i understand they have dropped this type of qualifying now... admitted it didnt work how they expected
-
Whilst not a big fan of the current guise of F1 I have been fortunate enough to sit in a Ayrton Senna show car.
-
Glad to see there are other F1 fans :cheesy: I'm a big fan of Max Verstappen since he joined last season, he is without doubt a future world champion. Amazing defensive driving against Rosberg in Canada.
Over to Baku this weekend, everyone looking forward to the virgin F1 track? I'm thinking Ricciardo will finally get his reward, anyone else have any predictions?
