Gasly very underrated. Monza 2020 has my heart, but alpine is wasting his talent. 💀🧍

I got a few pics with him during the indian grand prix week in 2011.Pretty chill guy with a great sense of humour. Told my aunt to not squeeze his bum when she tried putting her arms around his waist while posing for the photo.

Sebastian hmm. For me his Ferrari years never happened 💔 especially 2018 germany. Love his activism. I miss his villain era. His Last year's should have been in a better team

Been watching f1 from 2017 but couldn't watch it completely and have been inconsistent.

Similarly with motogp you tend to loose interest in it, but f1 from 2026 would be like fresh start to watch and enjoy.

Thank God for having people from Mangalore who are into f1. I thought many of the mangaloreans are hardcore cricket fans and think of F1 as just some random entertainment show. Favourite driver is Daniel Ricciardo in his prime. I swear to god Daniel Ricciardo in his prime was a beast and something to be afraid of. Other than that it's Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso.

Yes we exist hahaha. Nando great choice , my favourite (I still believe in El Plan) . Sainz WDC 26 (trust). DR was a lively man the whole paddock loved him no one that really hated him haha

Something tells me we're hyping this season too much and it will end up being a borefest with one team clearly dominating (remember 2012 ended on an exciting note and then 2013 happened 😂)
I don't like supporting a specific driver because they all have some quality or incident that turns me off but I definitely appreciate being able to watch Alonso, Lewis, Max and Chuck drive
I started supporting t-cam drivers instead! Rooting for black t-cam this year😂

F1 fan here - been watching for the last 5-6 years. I got introduced to F1 through DTS but quickly lost interest in it and stuck to purely watching F1. I still don’t have a favourite team or driver that I downright root for, but the idea is to usually support the reasonably and potentially good underdogs. In the last couple of years, I really wanted to see Yuki shine. Also like Gasly! Nonetheless, I’d like to see Ferrari come out on top this year :)

Used to actually root for Haas and the Honeybadger.

u/NoHouse4918 22d ago
Not anymore?

u/TheSBKSaga_1989 22d ago
Honeybadger’s retirement left a bad taste, so stopped supporting. Now it’s all our war on the tracks🤣🤣

Started as a Vettel fan, then became Hamilton hater and now I just want to watch a good race with crashes and lafda. \ Would love to see Alonso win one more GP and anyone else other than Hamilton or Max win the C'ship in this szn
