Title: Formula 1
Post by: Kiwifruit on Monday, 30 October 2017, 03:56 PM
I wish I liked Lewis Hamilton..... 4 times world champion, most successful British F1 driver. But he just don't do it for me. 
Am I alone ?
Shame to see Alonso and the McLaren so off the pace.
Moto GP just makes F1 look boring .
Kiwi Brendon Hartley should have put some steak n bangers on the fire that  became his Toro Rosso engine !!

I used to watch a lot of sport, Murry Walker commentating on James Hunt in F1,
getting up at silly hours to watch Ali or Tyson fight.

I used to watch it 20+ years ago,  can't get into it now.

Only watch MotoGP and a couple of times a year a horse race.

Used to watch the Grand National in the UK, now Melbourne Cup here,
have watched a couple of races since Winx stared her winning streak
but I don't bet anymore.

I go to the odd footy game, State of Origin or Grand Final if I get free tickets...  :grin:

Back to F1,   I did like the James Hunt / Niki Lauda story in the movie RUSH.

I thought that was very good and more my era.

I know he is a very good driver but I dont like him either.  I used to get up at syupid o'clock to watch F1 when Michael Schumacher was doing his thing on track but since he left I've lost a little intrest in it.
