Does anyone care about F1?

I have quite a few friends who are fanatical. They say things like, "Oh,but you need to understand that it's a team sport! That makes all the difference!" Yes, thank you, I know it's a team sport, you've told me before. So are water polo and croquet.

Jenson Button was a bit of a national hero for a while. Lots of people got interested in F1 who weren't before. I think it's like any sport, really - there are lots of fans and lots of people who aren't interested.

The sport I really care about is rugby.

I hope your team does well, though!

DH and LBB watch alllllll the F1 races. DH DVRs it so they can watch it together.

LBB wants to be Nico Hulkenberg when he grows up, which I support because I had a client who is an engineer for the Force India team.

stcyct - in part. DH drives an M3, which isn't known for its spacious backseat. The M3 forums all recommend recaro for the small footprint. The cool factor didn't hurt though. DH was beyond stoked that they made carseats. And I kinda figured if they keep racers safe, they probably would keep my kids safe too.

The one and only time I have ever done anything with F1 is when it was in Baltimore. My lovely brother decided to move the first day of the Grand Prix races when half the city was shut down. I had told him I would help him move before I realized what weekend it was. I have never liked it since them. Yes it brought money to my city but it was annoying as F when it came to trying to do anything!! I hope the team you are rooting for wins!!

dmoney , I don't believe there was ever a formula 1 race in Baltimore. The only US race is Austin. I did a quick google search and I think you are mistaking Formula 1 for IndyCar, there was an IndyCar race in 2011-2013 in Baltimore. Could this be it?

ETA: years of the race

HAHA I feel like an Idiot!! I thought they were all the same. I thought Grand Prix was all the same!!

dmoney , lol, the cars are kind of the same design, H would tell you IndyCar cars are baby Formula 1, close to what Formula 3 cars are.
In French we use the wording Grand Prix for everything, horses and all, so the what of the Grand Prix is important
Also, LT because funny, not because I want you to feel like an idiot !

HAHA Thank you!!! My French Colleagues laugh at me some times when I cant understand what thy say. so please feel free to laugh all you want!

billyhorrible we're car seat twins! I had the same logic, a Recaro seat has kept me safe over the years so it's gotta be safe for LO. My nephew has had his convertible seat for years, he's six and still uses it. Now we're looking at which Recaro convertible seat to buy for LO.
