Anyone else love the commentators on SPEED for F1? They are half the reason why I watch the practice and qualifying coverage. Some of the stuff that Barrister quoted shows that the guys behind the mic understand the essence of F1 and why all this bureaucratic nonsense needs to end.
I've been an F1 fan for the better part of a decade now (even attended the Indy GP tire debacle) and would hate to see the dissolution of the series. I haven't posted much in these threads mainly because I don't get up early enough but will try to contribute when possible.
And before you ask, always been a Tifosi since the recent glory days of Schumacher. Not much of a Kimi fan however. Even though it's quite bandwagon, I do root for Brawn these days as I've been cheering on Rubens since I started watching the sport and he was always taking podiums alongside Michael's wins. And who can't respect Jenson, the guy is just plain cool.

Glad to have you in the banter thread. This week's race is on FOX in the U.S. so you won't need to get up early.
We will have at least 2 banter threads - a live banter thread and a tape-delayed FOX thread. I may even break them up into an East and West Coast FOX threads because they are being shown at different times.
The Networks are trying to break up Team Speed's F1 conglomerate!

"A bonus for anyone who can tell me where Bahrain is!" or this intelligent analysis . . .
"The fans love racing in the rain so much, maybe they should put sprinklers along the track!"
I don't know where he gets some of this stuff.
