Australian Grand Prix
« on: March 05, 2004, 02:38:55 PM »
Hmmm, this is a thread that might have been posting in an Automotive forum, if we had one....[/i]  :surprised

Is anyone planning to watch the first event of the Formula One season, the Australian Grand Prix?  Live coverage on US television begins at 9:30pm eastern time Saturday (3/6/04) on Speed Channel.

I have to say honestly that I\'ve never been a fan of F1 before, but I\'m willing to admit that I may have been missing something.  I don\'t really know the personalities of the teams, crews, or drivers, and that is usually what gives other motorsports their intriguing character.

Anyway, I\'m going to give it a try this season, and start out supporting BAR Honda like the Honda whore I am.  Other Honda owners I\'ve seen have referred to BAR as "Broke Ass Racing," in reference to their pitiful performance in recent years.  No matter, I always appreciate an underdog.  I also just as often despise the preordained dominant royalty of any sport, which in this case is Ferrari.  :mad:  I hate competitors who are assumed to win before the contest begins, and I loathe bandwaggoners.

So is anyone going to watch?  What are your predictions?

I\'d like to see Subaru try to build an F1 engine.  :laughing:

The WRC is for Subaru what F1 is for Honda.

Now go away you silly drivers on gravel.  :p

I\'ll be watching it.

I\'ve been a fan of F1 for the best part of 20 years, and I pride myself on the fact that I have missed watching 2 races live in the last 12 years.

The last one I missed was the malaysian GP last year, I decided that it would be a good idea to go out I get pissed before the start of the race. I got in about 2AM and made my mind up to stay up & watch it. I sat in the armchair in eagerness for the start, only to fall asleep before the thing came on.

The only other race I missed apart from that was the 1993 canadian GP when I had to go to my cousins wedding. I was f0cking livid.

So yes, I will be watching it. Why even as I speak, I\'m waiting for the qualifying session to start.

Since the heady days of 90-91, honda have done jack-schitt in F1. It\'s been Renault & Ferrari since, with the odd intermittent Mercedes spell.

I\'ll be watching it, being a huge motoracing fan I never miss it. I also watch MotoGP, Superbikes, WRC, CART, IRL, BTCC...........

My prediction is for Michael Schumacher to once again dominate the proceedings. The Ferrari team have a great car that will take some beating.

I hate Ferrari.  :rpissed:

How long will it be before someone figures out what they\'re doing to be so technologically superior?

At least Button wasn\'t lapped.  :rolleyes:
