Didn't know there was an F1 thread on NT. My dad's love for the sport has been rubbing off on me so much, that I just started following F1 about 2 months ago, I'm even interested in starting out in karting as well
. Even though he's been following the sport way before I was born
. He still remembers Niki Lauda's horrible crash at the Nurgburgring
and his favorite driver was Ayrton Senna(who wasn't a fan of him
). I also got him the Senna documentary for Father's Day and it gave me some good insight on who Ayrton really was (RIP). Well anyways our current favorite driver is Lewis Hamilton
. I was dissapointed when he retired from the European GP after that collision
. It's cool though, I think he will win on home turf at Silverstone

Weather ~ Yeah, it was a great race, but it doesn't change the fact that the circuit still sucks IMO. Lots of journos were quick to praise the race and imply that the track wasn't boring, but it was only exciting cuz of these Pirelli tires, some unexpected mechanical failures and some shoddy driving standards. Not just Maldo, but also Vergne, who side-swiped Heikki... on a straight.

zk1 ~ The 2.6sec stop was ridiculous. Great rebound from their recent issues. Such a shame that ppl were quick to forget about that cuz of the front-jack failure. Just one of those things. I'm not ready to blame him yet, but since Sam Michael joined the team, they've had these "issues". McLaren has always had very-tight pitstops, but this season, all of a sudden, they're having these problems. Coincident? Sam's fault? Who knows.
