I'm not much of an F1 fan nowadays. I think the last season I watched all of was 1994.

Should be a bit more fun with Raikonnen back although like many others I have cancelled Sky Sports.
I think I hate being indecisive.

I was a bit gutted when the BBC seemed to have given up keeping hold of the coverage rights (probably spent too much for the Olympics no doubt).  I thought that would be the end of my F1 viewing as I refuse to shell out for Sky Sports when its the only sport I watch.  Sky has very wisely offered the F1 channel as part of the regular HD package, so I'm a happy chappy. :)

Raikonnen should help spice things up a bit.  Di Resta had a pretty good rookie season, so I'm keen to see if he can build on that.

I can take it or leave it myself but my Girlfriend has been a fan of it all her life.

She's royally p*!$ed off about it going mainly to Sky though and the BBC only having the cr@p races.

Big F1 fan, not so happy about Sky taking over, but a colleague of mine has just bought the package so that we can watch it... will miss the opener as i'm out of the country on work :(

Think that it could be an interesting season... am rooting for Caterham at the back, and Lotus at the front (think they've got a fair chance this year, now that it seems Ferrari aren't quite as hot). And always a big fan of Kobayashi!

It's a shame that it's moving away more and more from the driving itself to the sponsorship and the celebrity of it all, but i'll continue to follow it as I enjoy the sport.

dunno if I'm upset or not. I've been drifting away from it for a few years now. I'll see whether I watch much of it this year, but somehow I doubt I will.
