Is anyone else looking forward to this years championship?

Personally I am, but just wondered if the regulars watch it, pay a small interest, or find it generally boring?

Looking forward in anticipation.
Think Schumi will have a good season but not a championship one.
Button/Hamilton should be interesting, think Hami will have the edge if he can stay calm but Button may surprise a few doubters.

Bring it on!

Wouldn't miss it. I was a big Kimi fan. Don't know who i'll follow this year.

To each his own, but you can't get any more boring/dull than;

Golf, cricket, darts, snooker.

Just my view.

Well, point taken. Remember this is a dangerous sport... and whilst the clip is years old, this stuff happens.. www.youtube.com/watchv=34y8h_GXxuQ

That would not happen in this century (a guy ejected into a fence) but the real dangers are there. Ayrton Senna proved that, but not in the 21 century.

but that (unfortunately) could happen to any of us on the way to work or to the supermarket....

I appreciate how incedible thase cars are, and also how hard it is to drive them as well as those guys do... but i have to say i find it really really boring as a viewing spectacle....

I was lucky enough to win some tickets good few years ago to the Formula 1.

Not really a big formula 1 fan but won the tickets so me and a mate went.

The build up to the race can be quite interesting, lots of stalls and exhibition stands, bars etc. The start of the race was superb and it was a very good atmosphere

But after the first few laps, it WAS boring to watch!

Every 5 minutes or so you would get the quick sound of a car go past and that was it, everything was relayed onto large screens but it just didnt seem right. I can understand how motor sport fans enjoy it. Just not really my cup of tea

So you are watching it partly in the hope that you see a fatality take place - a "you were there when it happened" experience

Not at all, I have seen fatalities before. I went because it was free and hoped to see some sort of excitement - which it lacked
