Title: Any F1 fans here?
Post by: prime77 on October 03, 2006, 09:27:29 AM: Anyone here interested in Formula One? This weekends race was great! The technology involved with F1 cars is amazing. To go from 0 to 100 and then back to 0 MPH in around 4 secs is something I can't even imagine. I started watching it 2 and half years ago and have become a huge fan. I've never really liked motor racing before, I'm not a fan of Nascar at all but F1 is different.

I never followed Formula 1 to closely though. Are there any North American drivers in the circuit these days?

This is his rookie season. Former World Champion Jacques Villenuve from Canada was driving for BMW Sauber but left the team I think 3 races ago.

Then again not very many drivers did as good as his father in so many different many driving disiplines
