Formula 1 returns to the USA this weekend. Will you be watching.

This weekend, after 7 years Formula 1 returns to the USA with a race in Texas.

The last race 7 years ago in indianapolis was a disaster after a fuck up with the tires. meaning only 6 cars took part and America quite rightly turned its back on Formula 1.

7 years on Formula 1 is in a much better place. Back then only 2 or 3 drivers stood a chance of actually winning a race. make most races just a procession of very loud cars.

This season however 8 drivers have won races and the championship has been much tighter and much more exciting. With only 2 races left it is now down to 2 drivers.

Fernando Alonso in his Ferrari

and Sebastion Vettel in his Red Bull

No, the only sport I watch these days is MMA. I've slowly been less interested in everything else and never been into racing, though Formula 1 is way more interesting than NASCAR so if I come across it....maybe I'll watch, why not.

I'm very excited! This season just couldn't be more exciting, with the top 2 drivers only separated by 10 points anything could pretty much happen at this point. I'm definitely going to watch it with some of my friends. Cheering for Alonso, and a little bit for Kimi.

I've been totally converted to F1 as of late, so I'll be watching regardless.

It's been such a great season, too. Hype!

Note: I'm not American.

To celebrate, I'll be watching Top Gear on Netflix.

But Nascar has fights and cars going across the finish line on fire.

Actually the last race in the US was not a fuck up . 2005 was the tire fiasco when the Michelins wouldn't last more than a few laps and they withdrew from the race. I was there and saw the "race" in person. They went on to do races the next 2 years at the Speedway with no problems.

But yes I will be watching, and I probably will make the trip to Austin in 13 or 14.

I'll be watching for sure. Rooting for Vettel because I hate Ferrari.

Nope. Never saw the appeal in watching racing cars of any kid.

Yawn........................

Argh! I want to be there! Next time...next time.

Nope, I was an F1 fan, but since Sky got their claws into it I can no longer watch a full season live without paying extra cash (which I can't afford) so I won't watch any, just like all the other sports which Sky makes people pay for.

Fuck F1.

I'm gonna watch it. There's been a few dud races this year, but mostly it's been pretty great. Hopefully Fernando can out score Seb again this weekend and leave it down to Brazil. Should be gooood.
