Quiet One

Countdown Begins!

Recommended Posts


Only 13 days until first practice!

Only 15 days until the race!

Only 16 days until I'm able to download the torrent and watch it!

I, for one, am p**sing my pants.

Can't quite yet get my head around the fact that for the first time in my living memory I will not be watching a race in its entirety.

It's not happened yet, so I'm not sure how much it's going to hurt. But I have a fairly good idea.

I can't therefore get excited about the new season in the way I like to. When I feel the joy of knowing it's near, it's combined awith a sickness deep down somewhere in the pit of my stoumach.

Thoughts of an F1 fan.

Can't quite yet get my head around the fact that for the25th odd year I will be watching every race in its entirety.

It's happened before, so I'm pretty sure how much fun it's going to be. Yes, I have a fairly good idea.

I can therefore get excited about the new season in the way I like to. When I feel the joy of knowing it's near, it's combined with a joyfulness deep down somewhere in the pit of my heart.

Heartless!! I'm only able to watch it because it overlaps with a visit to Madrid, otherwise I'd be in the same position (maybe less dramatic because I'm the definition of casual F1 fan, but still, Melbourne is special).

Alright guys, you have whatever number of days (no, I can't convert that to your European units, and if you're all smarter than me then I figure you should be able to do it yourself :P) to convince me that some other driver/team is going to make filet mignon (or at least brisket) out of the Red Bull and it's rodeo rider Vettel.

The red button with the "+" is how I show my approval of your posts, right? :P

Besides...you warn me, I'll de-warn me, then you'll warn me, then I'll de-warn me, then you'll warn me, and I'll de-warn me, then Stephy will send me a grumpy text in the middle of the night, and tell me I have to start playing nice with you again....and that all just seems exhausting to tell you the truth...

Don't answer that.

I don't know whether to moderate that remark or noteusa_think.gif I have to admit, with utter shame, that I have gone the whole hog and added a Sky F1 HD subscription to my long list of two-faced twat behaviour. I couldn't help it and now I'm a gibbering wreck consumed with guilt. It's all that miserable Bernie's fault.....

I agree.

For the first time since I started watching F1, I won't be able to see the first race live. That's quite a depressing thought for me. I liked getting up at some early hour in the morning to watch the Aus GP.

Of course, I'm not going to leave F1 completely. I'm still a big fan...it's just that I can't really get excited for the start of the season the way things are now. This has been the first year I can remember I haven't been madly counting down the days till the start of the season.

I'm not getting Sky because it costs a lot of money, and I'd basically only be watching F1. Most the time through the summer and winter breaks I wouldn't be watching it at all. For that cost, I'd rather get to more races in person. I'm not making some special trip to pubs to watch it, because I'd rather watch it from the comfort of my own home, and besides, good luck finding a pub in this country that will show F1 on a day there's footbore. I'm not getting my hopes up of finding some illegal online stream either, because it isn't worth the hassle and chances are there won't be one anyway.

I'll still follow it as much as I can, but I probably won't become as "involved" in post race discussions and stuff this year. For that, you lot should be eternally grateful. :P

Two-hour highlights of Sebring at noon, Grand Prix re-air an hour after those end at 3 PM (live twelve hours earlier). Looks like I'll be skipping the NASCAR race. :)

I'm excited. I just have a feeling this season will be of interest. Something big is going to happen and it's going to be enjoyable. And we're almost there! Just one week in between, which is alright because SPEED is showing the V8 Supercars from this weekend and there's always NASCAR, and then F1 and ALMS kick off the same weekend.

Pole-sitter won't win Melbourne. That's my prediction. And to me that'd be huge. :lol:
