Such a popular sport so unsure why there is not a separate forum for F1.

They're afraid of all the crappy motorsports getting neglected if they're separate from F1. It's been asked many times and knocked back many times for varying rubbish reasons.

You don't want to go to the F1 threads anyway, they always turn into Lewis/Jenson/Vettel/Alonso fanboys fighting with the Lewis/Jenson/Vettel/Alonso haters. Everyone in those threads is always a bigger fan with more knowledge than the previous poster.

80% now maybe, but last year with the different regulations it would only have been 65%, but then as you aren't a proper fan you are just repeating something you read on the BBC website.

And if Lewis/Jenson/Vettel/Alonso was in the thread it would drop to maybe 50%. So nerrr!

Wrong! Lewis alone accounts for 50% of the bullst posted as fact. I should know, I've been following his career since I first heard of him.

I tend to just lurk in them too, I created one thread in 2010 which actually went OK, save for a few "I'm right" posters. I've just bumped it, not to see the reactions, because its topical again. It'll be interesting to see how it goes down though, GM has become a pit recently.

i'd rather eat eddie jordan's shirts than discuss F1 online. If people think PH discussion is bad then have a look at the autosport forum's general motorsport. it's absolute hell despite much heavier moderation

The F1 race threads usually go OK during the race itself. After the chequered flag is waved the usual suspects show up and ruin it for everyone else.

Where's your passion? You obviously aren't a proper F1 fan.

Well excuuuuuuuuse me ! I love watching the broom-brooms going round. Was not expecting some of the answers to my question that's all. I'm very passionate about F1 and love the red cars and the white cars and the blue ones. Now that's passion.

But you don't love the silver ones? I put it to you, sir, that you are a racist who hates Lewis Hamilton and if this were 1930s Germany you'd be a key figure in the forming of the foundations of the Third Reich.

Not likely if he didn't like the Silver Arrows.
