Real men watch NASCAR Chadd! Haha. No Perrier and escargot on the pre race grid. Chicken legs and Coca Cola or Budweiser for Americas premier Motorsport: Rubbing is racing and no “into the kitty litter” for nascar. Lol

I love formula 1. Rarely watch it, but man would it be fun to drive one of those machines.

The drive to survive series series is what got me hooked. My brother in law has always been a huge fan. A tonne money involved, but yea. Who wouldn’t wanna jump in a cart and rip like that around a track.

Lando Norris is my driver. Lots of good young talent coming up tho. These new cars are going to be interesting this year. Lots of kinks to work out. The bigger tires are going to be something.

The Lewis and Max show! The end of last year was a bit crazy.

I was hoping verstappen would take it. I think he deserved it. Hamilton wanted fresh tires multiple times but they told him to stay out. Would have have been a different story tho if he had new rubber.

I used to love F1. Not so much anymore. I prefer MotoGP where the driver is still a part of the equation. Even it is getting drug down in electronic aids though.

Technology is definitely playing a massive factor. The steering wheels of these units are ridiculous. I have a hard time with a PS4 controller.

I am interested in seeing the larger rim less rubber they are going to run this year.

The porpoising is something else. Watching Bahrain today was awesome. Gasley ended up with the best time for alpha tauri.

myself and a few buds would go to formula 1 at mosport speedway back in the late 70's, those cars were fast, it was wild listening to the cars going by walking through the trees a hundred or so feet away. there were some fine lookin ladies in the pits. . was there when James Hunt won 75 or 76, met him in the pits after the race, good times, friends and I emptied a few beer bottles!

I have watched drive to survive from time to time, never watched a full race.

I do really enjoy the behind the scenes of it and ya it’s gnarly how much those cars cost, teams etc

Just started drive to survive season 4 lastnight, what a show! Love it.

I went to F1 in Montreal a few years ago. Insane good time. Highly suggest going, the atmosphere is great.
