Any F1 fans out there?

It’s a very marmite topic I know, but just thought I would ask if anyone else takes a few hours out at the weekend to catch quali and the races.
If so, dare you declare your allegiances?

Mercedes-Benz / Nico Rosberg for me.

Yup, each weekend it’s on I annoy the wife by stealing the remote until the race is done and the champagne sprayed - in fact, once I’ve got my son to sleep, I’m looking forward to hogging the remote tonight to catch-up on the Monaco race!

As for allegiances - I used to be a Hamilton / Merc man, but more and more Verstappen is catching my eye, and now he’s got a Red Bull to play with Its going to be interesting to see how he developes over the rest of the season.

I won’t spoil it for you in that case @arm. It sounds like you have the routine fully under control for sure. Hehe.

Verstappen is a force of nature. Real huge up and coming star for sure. My eyes have moved away from Merc a bit too, just to watch what Max does. Awesome to watch race.

Enjoy the race later. I look forwards to hearing your thoughts on it after.

You know, Ricciardo never ceases to amaze me - to be so calm and composed in his post race interview after everything that happened shows an amazing strength of character. If it had been me, I’d have probably been going a full Kvyat!

Haha “full Kvyat” that actually sounds like a proper phrase.
