Formula 1 Season 2008

[skippygirl]

I can't be the only F1 fan out there! Please make yourselves known!

I'm a massive Ferrari fan. I was a Schumi fan until he retired and after that I've stuck with the team. You can therefore imagine my surprise and delight when Kimi snatched the Championship in Brazil I think I had a hangover the next day, I can't remember!

I'm very much looking forward to this coming season. I can't wait to see Alonso back in the Renault but I think Ferrari are going to be dominant given that (a) Renault were shit last year and (b) McLaren have had a hell of a lot of money to pay which presumably would have otherwise gone on car development.

Does anyone else HATE Lewis Hamilton?

I have been to the odd FI race from time to time. Massive F1 and Moto GP fan (I'm a biker) and hate Ferrari and their lackey wee Bernie Eckythump (cheating rats) with a passion almost as much as Rangers. McLaren Mercedes Rule and they are British.

Which races have you been to? I'd love to go to Spa or Monza.

I have always hated McLaren - I think it's from when Hakkinen was racing Schumi. Although I always liked Mika in interviews etc and felt the same about Kimi when he was with McLaren.

My boyfriend is a McLaren fan AND and Rangers fan Nae luck to me

Silverstone three times, my mates and I planned to go to Monza and Monaco on two or three occasions but girlfriends and wives decided to get pregnant and stuff and our plans have been scuppered so far (the things they do to stop us having a good time). Seville cost us an away trip too. Most of us support McLaren and Celtic ,two or three are huns and one supports Ferrari, mind you he has no taste he has a yellow Evo FFS .

Ah, these bloody women! They're obviously doing it on purpose

I wish I could say that my boyfriend was doing it on purpose but sadly he's been a hun and McLaren fan all his life and after 5 years I still haven't corrupted him

At least not in that way

hey F1 fan here, was at monza last year and had a fucking blast, had seats just at the end of the long straight just before the chicane.

i had camped near the race course, and got told monza was the best place to be to drink/party at nights, was crazy when we got there it was just a big massive drink fest with dutch/germans/austrians was nothing that i expected at a F1 race.

But you had a good time yeah?!

Are you a Ferrari fan (I ask in hope!). I need to go to a race soon. I'll settle for getting up at ridiculous times to watch the overseas races!

[R-to-the-C]

yeh of course, was awesome thats all i can say. nah not really a farrari fan, not really been interested in them just becausei prefered the underdogs to win, use to like ralph schumacher when he was at williams but dropped down on pecking order now since toyota, quite like hamilton seems to be a nice genuine guy. but in general not really a big fan of anyone specific but i hate alonso

[skippygirl]

Is Ralf getting a drive next season? Thinking about Williams in those days I much preferred Montoya. Yet another Latin that Ron Dennis couldn't handle. Alonso was treated appallingly by McLaren.

Whereabouts in Aberdeen are you? I grew up on Deeside, moved to sunny Glasgow for university and haven't managed to escape yet! (that was 7 years ago now :D )

[R-to-the-C]

Yeah im from aberdeen, stay in bridge of don area. Your not missing out borin as hell here. atleast your closer to paradise.

Pretty much agree wi everthing u've said so far skippy. Cannot stand Mclaren and the fact they were caught cheating of Ferrari shows you how poor a team they actually are, they shud have been booted out the of both championships there and then NO questions asked. Not keen on Renault or Alonso either but the way Ron Dennis handled alonso shows what an arrogant tool he is. Feel 10 times better now that i've gotten that out my system.

Tifosi all the way!

And Ferrari don't run F1 then. Wake up and smell the coffee. Ferrari are squeaky clean when they cheat thanks to Bernie Eckythump. Mclaren are by far the better outfit and as for cheating - who doesn't?

michael schumachers antics.........

In what way does Bernie cover up for Ferrari? People in F1 always look to make Ferrari scapegoats for their own short comings. Mclaren were a joke last year, alonso and lewis arguing over shit and where was Ron Dennis when this all needed sorting... he had his cue ball stuck in some 800 page manual trying to steal not win but steal both championships.

Scapegoats? It's so blatent it's embarrassing. Bernie has always favoured Ferrari and admits it.

Sorry mate but Ferrari have nice road cars, the F1 team sucks. Alonso is a dick! He tried to blackmail McLaren.
