Not wishing to be rude but does anybody watch F1 anymore ? I gave up on it 15 years ago or maybe more.

[jasT1981]

I still do but more casually if I remember its on and there is no football on TV, but I've moved more to BTCC and American NASCAR for racing as its much closer.

It used to be I religiously watched F1 and didn't miss a race for around 15 years or so but have found myself missing races and not caring these days.

Yes, I have watched it for the last 20+ years, but last years farce was the last straw.
Make up the rules as you go racing series as it should be now known

World Rally is my go to sport now ( always has been tho ), and also watch BTCC , and Rallycross (although that's a bit naff compared to the older series)

Red Arrows have been given permission to continue doing the flypasts at Silverstone.
