Jump to: Newest in thread
Am I the only female on Fab that LOVES F1? I Am a McLaren supporter but love seeing the younger drivers (Rookies) doing well & getting in the points zone. F1 weekend does'nt just start on a saturday for me. I am tuned in all week to the app & all updates about the Teams, drivers, news. Is that excessive? I know I'm a tomboy but can be very ladylike when I want too. Am I the only weirdo female? xxx Pinks |

We used to follow it a good bit...went to the British GP once. But its impossible to follow live! Didn't have a clue what was going on. Having said that glad we went. Mr still follows it. I just don't have the time. I'd easily get into it again |

Great to see a resurgence of support for F1. Drive To Survive really has shown how great F1 is as a sport, but gotta keep an eye on the lower formulas, Alex Dunne is racing brilliantly and is a great ambassador for Irish motor sport! |

Not a big fan of F1. Enjoy watching documentaries about various racing drivers.
On another topic is there not an issue with racing headchap who has made various remarks about the opposite sex, that would be females, just to clarify |

"Biker myself the tt is a true eye opener but total lunacy competing in it. You would want the rest of the bucket list complete first "
I watch the bikes the odd time. I'd actually LOVE a bike but hubby won't let me get one |

Been a fan since Peter vroom vroom Collins presenting it on rte in the 90s. Unfortunately nowadays i watch the races on fast forward usually. I recommend the world superbikes championship tho. 5 or 6 different winners so far this season. Some epic overtaking every race |

"The biggest question of all time who is the best f1 driver
For me it’s Schumacher "
Schumacher for sure, closely followed by Senna. Max is well on his way to be high up the list. Have to give respect to Lewis too on sheer success alone. |

Was at Budapest GP last year. Highly recommend it as a location. Beautiful city and track isn’t far from city centre. Really good all round trip for a bit of everything |

Not sure I would enjoy the race as much being there as I LOVE to keep a screen on the different DRS zones, turns, corners etc. yes the noise & atmosphere I reckon would be just phenomenal but I can see myself getting very frustrated not knowing what exactly is going on down the track lol
Now if I had pit access & able to watch all the screens for stats, times etc then maybe I'd cope lol

Thanks for all the replies folks, thought I was a lighthouse keeper (out on my own) for a while there. So it's reassuring to know I have some female company for the F1 ride this year!!

Was once a big F1 fan, back when Damen Hill was driving for Willians was when my interest took hold and then Jordan came along and was engrossed in it all through Schumacher's career and his battles with Rubins and Hakanin. Had been to the Spa in Belgium on a couple of occasions but F1 lost its shine for me years ago.
Am a massive bike racing fan. Find BSB most entertaining then WSB and Moto GP and am big into road racing too, have been to them all and love the IOM TT |

F1 fan here, but love the Irish motorsport more. We have some of the best stages in the world. Have worked at quite a few in the northwest. Popped down to Sligo yesterday evening to see some of the cars at the Deja Vu rally.
Bucket list would be to get to an F1 race and the Tt races. |

"Austin (COTA) is our Favourite circuit by far followed by São Paulo but give Miami a big miss ..we went to the race last year and is probably the worst venue we’ve been to "
Miami was more about the whole entertainment production than the actual drivers & the race (IMO). it was like one huge movie set. I don't like Miami. |

A lot of people seem to be going that way whereby they leave the admiration for F1 then go to bikes. I must give the Irish motorsport a chance too maybe. |

He was well overdue a win and the planets aligned for him in getting a safety car pit stop when the others didn't, but it's good to see other teams running strong and it being closer than it had been in a while. |

Not as much cringe on Martins grid walk this year. I love watching his funny smart comments to those who are “too famous” to talk to him . Missed it this year . Delighted to see Lando win his first race and at Zack’s home GP. Great race weekend .

MEXICO
Checo on for another DNF???
I normally don't get annoyed at the Stewards decisions regarding penalties but last weekend in Texas really vexed me. Lando gets penalised for something Max dis on lap 1 but Max didn't get ANY penalties...what the heck is going on in the FIA? |

That was a good end to the weekend. Max still in the reckoning even after an unwarranted 20 second penalty. Must say the track looks fantastic, that spectator stand that the track goes through must be class to be in. |

Lewis must be thinking of another World Championship. Carlos doesnt have the marketing appeal of a multiple World Champion who has a wide reach internationally as Lewis does. Carlos might end up in Audi in a few years . |

Unwarranted? The guy is a danger, only reason he doesn't get more penalties is because he is such a big draw for the sport.
His reaction to the talk about new driving standards was typically childish. |

Would have to agree,he braked late and made no effort at all to make the corners at all.
He has always had that edge,just the car has been that good over the last couple of years until lately we haven’t seen it |

What a day of racing 🏎️ drama everywhere. WTF Stroll, Nico black flag 😱
Delighted for Max what a win ! Although I like Lando, he was a bit of a baby after the race …. And wow Alpine 🏁
Hope the rest of the season has as much dramatics ….. 3 to go , 4 time world champion 🏆 |

"Great race last weekend...what do you think of the statement from drivers...
Feel sorry for Bottas "
The drivers were always going to get to a head with the Ben Sulayem, they are correct as the transparency.
All the driver changes are looking to 2026. Audi want people who are quick, can develop cars and have potential to develop and be marketable. Be an interesting few races. Lewis can’t wait to get to Ferrari. Checo must be bringing huge money and have serious clauses in his contract to still be there. He won’t be there in 2025 |
