2009 Formula 1 Discussion
I dunno about that Billy, LOL. There have been some good races for sure on some of the non original tracks but surely not the best races of the season material. But even if they were fantastic races the only coverages they get is TV, which is great for the FIA but not so great for the manufacturers that want to get closer to the fans.
I think we can all agree that even though watching on TV you see the action much better and more comfortably, there is just something magical about being there in person. Surrounded by thousands upon thousands of like minded fans.
The teams know that the personal side of F1 will be washed away with more of these remote location tracks where general interest and fan involvement is much lower than a comparable European, North American or Brazilian GP. Japan and China I would include within the elite markets obviously.

Good points... While watching on TV is convenient and less of a hassle, the shear sounds of the engines and running onto the actual track to see the award ceremony are all experiences that I will never forget.
It is a shame that the closest race to us is in Brazil.. or England... I would have go to Montreal in a heartbeat again if they would have been given the chance to host a race. There is a reason that F1 is not popular over here, most of it is due to the way it is marketed and presented.... anyway..
Who do you all see as favorites this week?
It's definitely now time for Sir Lewis to show the world why he is a World Champion and Felipe is "not!!!" A repeat performance at Monaco is much needed. Heikki needs a F'n win. Go MM!

Nice job today by Kimi, now he and the team need to get this race right for once this season. Not such a good day for Lewis, but I admire very much him shouldering the responsibility of his mistake and apologizing to the team.

That goes a long way in making things right with them for some of his other comments this season.
Should be another interesting race tomorrow, I can not wait!

Alleged comments!!! Lets not forget the key word. And I agree, should be a very interesting race tomorrow. How long can the Brawn supremacy last? It'll surely come to an end. They haven't been struck by misfortune all season. No team is that good or that lucky.
Is Ferrari back from the dead????
I can't explain how excited i was to see KR push so hard all race.
Webber is looking more and more comfortable in his car, can't wait for Turkey!
