Does anyone watch Formula 1? For that I stay up and watch from start to finish. Anyone that watched the race from Malaysia last night knows what happend to all the drivers. The rain was unbelievable and all the drivers skidded out due to the rain. I am glad that Ferrari has taken back what they have been missing since Michele Alboreto lost it all for Ferrari.

1.Michael Schumacher (Germany)
2.Rubens Barrichello (Brazil)
3.David Coulthard (Scotland)
4.Heinz-Harald Frentzen (Germany)
5.Ralf Schumacher (Germany)
6.Mika Hakkinen (Finland)
7.Jos Verstappen (Netherlands)
8.Jarno Trulli (Italy)
9.Jean Alesi (France)
10.Luciano Burti (Italy)

Anyone going to attend the Indianapolis F1 race this 30th of Sept?

I was at the race last year and we'll be going back this year. My wife and I had a great time. A little bit of rain, but that just makes F1 more fun! First road trip with the Viper and all went well.

Our seats are right at turn 1 about 25 rows up, almost perfect. And we get to keep them year to year!

If you go this year let me know and we can meet up...

I'll know more towards this summer. I think I'll have pit passes, but that is why I don't know yet. Last year I had pit passes for the McLaren team at the Monza race...it was so funny when Hakinen ducked behind a bush to cry...LOL I hope to meet Schumi this year at an event too. Watch for a post that will say something with Formula one...Thanks

I have been a formiula one fan and a US indy fan all my life. I was at Indy last year for the return of Formula one to the US. It was incredible to hear the sounds of the cars. Years ago I was at Indy back in the days of Mario Andretti. It was great, I was surprised just how much I missed hearing those cars. Scumacher is a great driver but Aryton Sienna was incredible.

I couldn't agree more. True, Senna was it. When I drive the F50, it's the closest you can get to the ear bursting F1 sound. All the people actually leave your path because they can hear the engine sound...i love it. I took my friend out that visited me from Tampa and he almost "crapped" his pants. He loved the ride in a million dollar car...

I'm always glad to see that there are many F1 fans out there. I love the F1 because that is the home of development. F1 always has something to offer to the car industry. When was the last time that you heard that a NASCAR team developeing something for the auto industry? In F1, they have developed some of the current things that we use in our cars today. Like ABS, active suspension, different materials, tires, stability control, safety devices, nitrogen filled valve guides, and telemetry. They are always infront of the market with new things to improve the cars we drive on the street. I love F1 for that. And yes, Schumi is #1 after Senna.
