Thanks for the kind welcome! :)

Yes, I really like it! I hope there will be enough customers :) I'm working together with Hungary's best helmet painter, so the quality is sure to be okay. But unfortunately in Hungary there are only a small racing life here.

Salaam Alaykum, Ismael.

Welcome aboard. Have you considered switching your obviously misinformed supports towards Lotus F1 and Fernando Alonso? I'll be glad to help :P

Hi All,

New to the forum but an F1 fan for many many many years. I'm a fan of good close racing but dont support a particular driver or team. I guess if pushed being a brit I would have to go for the home talent of JB and LH.

All time hero has to be the 'tache' himself Nigel Mansell. Difficult to work with but a great racing driver.

Bring Alfa Romeo back is my number 1 idea. I'm a huge alfa fan.

Looking forward to participating on the F1 forums.... It will give me something to do when I'm supposed to be working.

Welcome to TF1!

First I'd heard of Mansell being difficult to work with.  All the guys at Newman/Haas, which admittedly was not F1, loved working with Nigel.  Either the F1 atmosphere got the best of Mansell and he acted differently there and was more relaxed in CART, or the other guys in CART were absolute *****es to the point Mansell seemed good (Newman/Haas did, after all, employ two Andrettis at a time). :P

Hi everyone! I have been watching F1 since childhood in the mid 80s. Favourite drivers over that time include Senna, Alesi, Hill, Zanardi, Hakkinen, Montoya, Raikkonen and Alonso. Never been one to support any particular team, but I find that as I get older, my appreciation for all drivers increasing to the point I don’t dislike any driver.. Even Vettel after boring me to death last year!

Indeed.
I like your approach to F1, though. Somebody who can see past his own likes/dislikes and enjoy other good drives. Not many of those around. If you are patient enough until this forum starts picking up pace again, you will notice that despite our digs and jokes, most of us are just like that.

I am supposed to say something funny now, but I have a cold so I will just write you an I.O.U. for some witty remark. Mr.Rainmaster here can provide you with a better one, anyways!

We keep on working, we do our thing, Vettel shouts over the team radio,We are who we are!

"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

Hi there to all members I have yet to go to a F1 race but here in Thailand I am lucky enough to watch some great racing live. We have many exciting races here at my local circuit "Bira". No single seaters but lots of action with Supercar Series action. I follow racing on the TV and watched every GP this season. I also listen to the daily updates on the radio.
In December we have ROC in BKK and after that the amazing street circuit in the coastal town of Bang Saen.-can't wait!

There have been a lot of rumors about a Grand Prix in Thailand for 2014 or 2015, as I'm sure you've heard.  Maybe you'll get that chance soon. :)
