Just wondering if there are any F1 fans here on the board. What did you think of the Melbourne GP? I wish I could have watched it but its on at weird times since I live in Seattle...

I think all auto racing should cease considering the scarcity of oil, and the current Middle East crisis.

[2] mixiユーザー 03月17日 05:54

hmm.. Well when you think about how much oil is used for racing vs the amount used for one international airplane flight there is no comparison. Overall racing uses very little fuel considering how much is used every day. I'm sad to admit it, but here in the USA we waste fuel like it is water. I know that there are private yachts that burn 2000 gallons (7 570 liters) of fuel a day just for fun, but the owners are very rich.

Well, I have been a F1 fan for about 20 years. I was watching the Australian GP last night but I fell asleep in the last 30 minutes! hahahaha I live in the UK, so the race started at 4am UK time.
Well, I am a Honda fan, so I am happy about the result and Barrichello was also quite happy even though he was disqualified. They look much stronger than the last season, so I think there will be much more chances for them to get points!

isnt the race in my country (Australia) right now??

[6] mixiユーザー 03月17日 07:03

I could watch the entire race for Australian GP yesterday, since I live in Japan so we have the TV program during 4pm to 6pm. My husband and friend have knowledge for F1, but I don't. They discussed that it was very lucky for Nakajima Jr. as his debut. The race had lots of accidents, I thought it was very exciting!!

Darn it, I totally missed Australian Grand Prix! It's already that time of year, isn't it. I've been a Formula One fan since the middle of 1970s. Niki Lauda, James Hunt and Mario Andretti are all my heros as well as the modern counterparts such as Alain Prost, Mika Hakkinen and Fernando Alonso. My all-time favourite is Ayrton Senna.

I hope Speed TV re-runs it this week, as they normally do.

I'm just rooting for Hamilton... but really I see the Red Bull team as the underdog since they have been consistently finishing 3rd for most of the time. Other than that i'm plannign to go to the Montreal GP. Can't wait

I guess the R&D of auto racing also helps to improve fuel efficiency and automobile performance, so that's a plus.

[11] mixiユーザー 03月17日 12:21

Speed TV is rerunning the race on Wednesday. Yay! :-)

Now, did Super Aguri show up? I keep hearing about their financial trouble and the possibility that they may not be able to compete this season. I sure hope it hasn't turned out that way. They showed great promise on the first half of last season (before the money ran out).

[12] mixiユーザー 03月17日 13:12

Of course racing always is looking to improve the fuel efficiency, less pit stops, more racing, more laps. Just take a look at Audi and their R10, Diesel LeMans car... yum.... if it ran of bio-diesel, it'd smell like french fries... woo.

だいはど > You know what time? And yes Super Aguri was there. I saw them on the results pages.

[13] mixiユーザー 03月17日 15:37

アンソニー，

It's 9:30 AM (PST). Wish we'd be able to watch it together. :-)

Seal Pool:

I didn't want to totally disagree with you.. I do think it is a waste of fuel, even though i like racing. My point was that we need to change a lot of other things first. Especially in the USA we need to change.

[15] mixiユーザー 03月18日 13:56

I love the F1, and especially the one in Melbourne cause its only a short tram ride away for me, although I havent been for a few years now. I cant justify the price to be out in the heat and see only one small bit of track. I watched the party this year from the nearest irish pub from my place.

I just hope Melbourne doesnt lose the race. There has been a lot of talk here lately that it might go to Sydney or overseas.

Do you know that Honda has financed Super Agri and the team will be able to continue racing at least until the end of this season? As you can imagine, it's very difficult for them to be competitive enough in such a situation. The team isn't really organised now, but I think they are trying really hard. You know what kind of person Aguri is, he always try as well as he can. As I've been a fan of him since I started watching F1, I do hope that the team will be able to emerge from the difficult situation.

[17] mixiユーザー 03月18日 14:57

Fiona,

How're ya doing? Yes, I know Honda has been Super Aguri's huge backer, and I'm glad to hear Super Aguri will be able to continue racing at least until the end of this season. My biggest concern was that Super Aguri lost their main sponsor last year, which forced the team to stop the development work almost completely. No wonder they did rather poorly towards the end of last year. Another issue is that Honda may pull the plug on Super Aguri sooner than later if they can't put their own act together this season. I sure hope Ross Brown helps Honda regain their competitive edge...

I hate it. It promotes a petrol head lifestyle which is not only bad for the environment but unsafe as well; speeding kills people an unfortunately even though the F1 is in a controlled environment, there are people who do it out in the real world and kill people.

I also live in the suburb where it is held.

Loud. Very loud. Blocks off the streets. People everywhere. Hard to concentrate on study because it's LOUD! And the noise isn't only the cars, it's the helicopters and fighter jets that come with it.

YOU SUCK! RACING FOREVER!!! Nah i'm joking. I actually used to be one of those kids back in my high school days. God thats like 7 years ago for me... Anyway I still race though but in controlled areas where it is ok. I rather pay the entrance fee and the track fee rather than pay the ticket. I know exactly how much it is since I was caught way back then. haha. Honestly its those idiots that are always trying to show off at the races, wait, thats most of the people there. Seriously kids, go to the track, at least you don't have to worry about cops there and a $5000 dollar fine + jail time + high risk INS which comes to a grand total of about $7000-$9000 per year... at least in Washington State.

Back to the topic, F1, Anyone going to the Montreal GP? Planning to go to that on top of going to the Fuji GP when I go over to Japan for my business trip.

Been an F1 fan since the early 90s..saw the race in which Ayrton Senna died.
Been a fan of McLaren Mercedes since 1998, have been betting on them since...lol...this year seems to be a lucky year for me.
Never miss watching a race come what may..
Was in Melbourne last month for the first time ..and when my friends asked me if there is something in particular I wanted to see ..told them "Alberts Park".

Just FYI, formula 1 is a resource for modernization of technology, safety for the auto industry...its the R&D which is at a later point adopted.

Oh..by the way ..feel free to get in touch with me if you wanna know where u can enjoy watching F1 in tokyo.

Looking forward so much to Sepang this weekend.

The Malaysia GP is this weekend. For all those on the west coast of the US, it will be on speed channel at 11:30pm. But 2 hours before that you got practice, qualifying, etc. Any thoughts for this weekend's race?

[22] mixiユーザー 03月20日 08:24

Here is one F1 fan , I've been watching it for years and years now. And still find it very intressting.
I tried to watch it live last weekend but didn't make it because of the time difference (here it was 5,30am when the race started) So I didn't make it , but I watched the replay later that day.

I hope for this weekend that it will be such an intressting race like last weekend, and let the young boys have good results.

[23] mixiユーザー 03月25日 01:26

Ahh... missed it again... oh well gotta wait for the replay.... too bad for Hamilton.
