It's an elietist sport. It turned a normal guy like Eddie Irvine, a guy from the next town to me, into a prick. You see them do one lap you seen it all.

Its funny a stupid sports reporter says he was surprised that Michael Schumacher won,come on its obvious he would won,he is the big star of formula 1 racing.

EDIT: and Jacques Villeneuve i wonder why he`s still wasting time participating in the races,he`ll never finish any race he`ll make.

I wonder why Villeneuve isn't racing go-carts these days. Honestly, he'd be better off going down to CART, IRL or NASCAR and try to be competitive there.

I LOVE FORMULA ONE!!!!!

My favourite racer was from McLaren (Mika Häkkinen), but he retired, so now I'm all about Rubens Barrichello. He's my boy!!!!!!!! So.......

GO FERRARI!!!!!

Edit: I made it preeeetty.

Edit the Sequel: Gah! I spelled the word color with a 'u' and the damn thing just doesn't work right.

Edit the One that Should Never Have Been Turned Into A Film: Left out an R in my boy's name. I'm a sucky fan.

He needs to get away from BAR. Personally I think he's capable of doing well, he just needs a good team.

Watching a bunch of guys race in a circle is not my idea of entertainment. That's just me thoguh.

Whatever the critics say, race car driving IS a sport.

...I like how they seem to keep changing he rules to make it harder for Michael Schumacher to win, or so it seems lol.

But seriously, F1 on the play station is the way to go.

I don`t think he`ll ever have a chance to win even if he change team,its like someone sabotage his car so he will not finish any race,and he`s too dumb to notice that.
