Phil 5,015 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Given that my player, Phil Villeneuve is based off the last Canadian F1 driver to race, Jacques Villeneuve, and with the fact that the season's just finished, I was wondering if I am the only member on the board that watches and semi-follows the F1 World Championships? On that note, congrats to the Brit LEWIS HAMILTON for winning.. raced fantastically over the final stretch of the season and rightly deserved to win. Very well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,536 Posted November 24, 2014 Admin Share Posted November 24, 2014 Forever wondering what's the point of a race on Sunday, when Saturday decides everything. I know the drivers and who wins, that's about it. 60-70 laps of wh-zzzzz is not my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tagger 2,722 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Wow, I am fully familiar with Jacques Villeneuve, but I just never put two and two together and kept thinking it was pronounced like that basketball player (Charlie Villenueva?) I used to be into F1 like crazy back in the day when there were the teams like Jordan and Arrows (around 1999-2002), and I still keep up with what happens through sports news, but can't say I watch it anymore since they put half of the season behind a pay wall over here. Happy that Hamilton won, but I have to say that the whole "Double Points In the Last Race" stuff is one of, if not the, worst idea I've seen implemented in a sport.

I was enraged when that rule came out.It makes absolutely no sense. And lol Alfie, nothing's decided during Qualifying. Hamilton has done this (I think twice this season) where he qualified in 10 or 18th and finished 2nd of 3rd. Whatchu talkin' bout foo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOM 8,408 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I used to watch qualifying and the race itself, but since Vettel/Red Bull dominated it last couple of seasons, it kind or ruined it. Was/am a Schumacher and Ferrari fan but now Vettel is confirmed to replace Alonso, not sure I can follow them now. Follow Riccardio's career with interest, but have to find a new team to maintain my interest, but Victor has a point. I used to enjoy watching the entire race, now I just watch the first couple of laps(to see if there's any contact, then the last couple to see if anyone has the balls to try and make a passing move. They usually don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,536 Posted November 24, 2014 Admin Share Posted November 24, 2014 How can you like Schumacher and not Vettel? Their dominance was pretty much identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM 8,408 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Personal preference plus Vettel is a little turd. Just haven't liked him since he came in. In Schumachers prime F1 was still exciting(always crossed my fingers that Barrichello or Massa didn't take Schumi out on first corner) and now it seems every year they have to change something....aerodynamics package, reduced power output, blah blah blah. The cars even sound shitty now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomsday 4,036 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) I always felt like Schumacher's dominance only happened because there were no more guys like Alain Prost, Aryton Senna or Nigel Mansell to stop him. He dominated a lesser field. I feel like I may have used a picture of Jacques Villeneuve when talking about your player in a media spot before, therefore making me a sage wizard.

BOOM 8,408 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 My 2 favorite drivers ever in motorsport are Emerson Fittipaldi and Schumacher. In fact, Emerson is on my shortlist of boy's names(whenever that happens ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 5,015 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 UZI, you're right... Vettel's a prat. He also had a shitty year this season which makes me smile He's ditching Red Bull now and looks like he'll join Alonso at Ferrari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
