For the love of F1

It is never wise to criticise a sport or those who have become successful because of that sport because you will always end up annoying someone. Still, here I am about to try to explain why F1 has left my heart this year and it is not Vettel's fault.

When I first started watching F1, it was Senna that caught my attention and as I have heard many times over the years "You started off seeing the best and now no one will compare". That could be true but there have been other times during the years since watching Senna that I have loved watching the sport. Mostly for the rivalries, I think one of my favourites was between Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher. I was a big Damon Hill fan and their rivalry was a really fierce one at times. But this was proper wheel-to-wheel racing, it had a real edge to it. It wasn't just that there wasn't things going on further down the grid, technology improvements had started but still cars would spin off and retire. There was definitely more excitement.

The Friday File #45 - Mark Webber

I actually thought that the first Formula 1 man to feature in my Friday File would be Jenson Button. Apparently not. Mark Webber will be leaving F1 at the end of this season and he will be driving for Porsche in the FIA World Endurance Championship, DON'T LEAVE ME MARK! Seriously not happy at all. I only blame one person. Sort of. He knows who he is!

Anyway we all love a bit of Mark yes? YES!

Music Monday: Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

With the somewhat unsurprising news that BBC will end up sharing Formula One coverage with Sky I thought this would be the perfect Music Monday track. The Chain features in the BBC titles sequence for F1 coverage and when F1 moved to ITV many missed the familiar F1 theme.

Vroom Vroom!

F1 is back this weekend and this girl is very happy, I've missed the vroom vroom (yes that's my car noise - shh!) and again there are new rules and already the competition it heating up at home. I'm firmly in the Red Bull camp, with a soft spot for Jenson Button and Spurs boy is still cheering on those Ferrari boys.

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

So this week seems to have been a bit busy, how has it been for you? Got everything done that you wanted to?

F1 is back!

Yes it's back! F1 is finally back for the 2010 season this weekend. Excited? Well I am. In fact our home has sort of gone a bit F1 crazy at the moment. Little man decided he no longer liked his Ben 10 themed bed set (although he still loves Ben 10) and he wanted a Jenson Button one. Guess he wants Button to win then?
