Any F1 fans in Clubsnap?

[shas3n]

Let me admit it I am a hardcore fan of Formula 1 Racing. I was thinking of having a good discussion about F1 after every race. Just thought CS should be a nice place since we all know each other (atleast online)
Just to tell which team you like, and which team you dont... who is the best driver and worst and whatever else you like to say about F1.
Please join this thread if you are interested and preff leave your fav team/driver etc!!

Ferrari - M. Schumacher

I'm also a fan of the late Ayrton Senna (1994, San Marino GP).

F1 has all the while been a very popluar sports event.

But before Sepang host the Grand Prix, there was not much live telecast. And at that time, there was no such thing called ESPN sports nor SCV. That;s why it did not bring up lots of interests from Asian.

1992 was the first year I was in Australia. And Melbourne host the first GRand Prix by the year of 1993, Damon Hill was the champion for the year if my memory is still good.

kingpin, never knew that u are F1 fans as well. Well, we will have one more topic during our Nepal.

based on this, I think your memory is not serving you well, Senna died in 1994 during the San Marino GP..

Ironically M Schumacher won that particular GP

Ferrari....
no fav driver...but i salute Alonso for his braking manoever to hold off DC (causing him to crash out) and Shumi (at the fininsh line) cannot remember which race...

 

[randomwalk]

My fav drivers: Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill (I know! lah!) and sigh...Schumy. Got my eyes on Mark Webber, Kimmi and Alonso too.

I've been to 4 Melbourne GPs. You can easily spot a true "blue" Italian if (a)they're half-naked, and (b) they wear or carry red and/or Ferrari products, and (c) they speak Italian (duh!) and (d) they're drunk before qualifying has even started.

guess that is why we have only 2 italian drivers...trulli and fisichella (did i miss anybody else?)

Too many italians at the GP already, especially Melbourne. :dunno:

Need more swedish/danish drivers - then maybe can see more swedish/danish chicks!! ;p

Sorry, typo. It is 1994, the year Senna died before World Cup 94 in USA. During the World Cup final, penalty shoot out, all Brazilian player were holding hands with closed eye, and they claimt that the victory was more from the Senna's blessing rather than gifted by Roberto Baggio.

 

[randomwalk]

In other boring news, I still have the mpeg of Senna's in-car video a few seconds before the fatal impact.

Senna > Schumy. FACT!

 

[shas3n]

yup they even dedicated that world cup in his memory..
but heard nowadays even if you bang a concrete wall at 300 kmph with a F1 car.. nothing will happen. (to the driver of course not the car)
the sport is much more safer these days.

OT:
Oh, yeah, I also remember that WC, and the lacklustre performance of Baggio, I think Jurgen Klinsmann was better that time.
