Everyone else gets an official thread, so I want one too.
I've seen several people make mentions of F1 on here. So, I'm giving us a thread. No more Speed bs coverage. NBC looks like they are taking it serious and will have some good coverage.
With DVRs now, it's no longer a pain in the ass to watch the races. So watch them and discuss
And if you don't watch F1. You suck. Best racing on the planet.

I paid for a F1TV subscription this year, and I'm going through and watching all of the races in the archives from the beginning. I'm up to the 1991 season now. It's crazy how much the sport has changed in the last 50 years. [Reply]
The first thing that jumps out to me is safety. It's crazy how many drivers were killed in the 70's. Spa used to have barbed wire at one part of the track. If I talked about "That guy who crashed and burned to death trapped in his car and they didn't even stop the race" you'd be like "Which one?"
I just looked up the wiki and 49 drivers have died at Spa since it opened, not counting spectators or officials. Just insane. [Reply]
