Lewis Hamilton 2014 World Champion

Just giving you a bit of a stir there Debs, I like Nico as i was a supporter of his Dad, Keke way back in the early Eighties. Nice to see Williams have found their mojo again.

I liked Nico until Monaco, and then at Spa he took the crown from Vettel as the driver I dislike the most, a position I suspect he will hold for a long time

So what did he do to upset you?
And I wonder what Vettel thought as he passed Alonso? Something along the lines of... "Have I given up my seat in RBR to drive that red slug of a Ferrari? I might have made a bit of a mistake there"

Deliberately bringing out the yellow flags in quali so he would keep pole position in Monaco, deliberately driving into Lewis at Spa (and he admitted doing so)
I don't think Vettel has any interest in RBR now that Newey won't be involved in the design, and I thought Lewis made a mistake leaving McLaren for Mercedes, I was wrong. When Vettel signed for RBR the Toro Rosso was performing better, and I bet you didn't think it was worth anyone bothering to get out of bed on race day if they were driving a Williams after such a disastrous 2013. Although, I still hope Kimi wipes the floor with Seb next year, and Dan gets more race wins to add to this years 3

Sorry - the whole modern day F1 thing leaves me cold - give me Touring Cars or Rallying (especially back in the days of Mk2 Escorts)......

I do like some of the old classic Grand Prix though - I just can't seem to get into the new stuff......

Most of the modern day improvements to F1 cars has been to increase driver safety. The same is true for Indy cars and NASCAR.

Love the sounds during certain camera shots.

I remember back when I was in high school that if you were listening to Indianapolis 500 on the radio and they did an around the track to various trackside microphones, you could tell from the sound of the engine what type it was that was passing the microphone.

That sounds like this year at Watkins Glen Six hour Tudor Series race. I was resting my eyes in the shade of a tree and could pick out he sounds of Porsche, Maserati, Corvettes, Vipers etc.
