First started watching F1 when the good old Beeb (yes, those were the days!) covered it in about nineteen fifty five.
I think Raymond Baxter was commentating.
Saved my pocket money and went off on my own to watch, in my early teens.
Graham Hill was my idol. :thumbup:
It all started to get a bit fractious when Hunt got upset, but I stuck it out until a certain unsportsmanlike but undeniably highly talented German started playing dirty.
'fraid, I lost interest as I spat feathers. :twisted:
Today's prima donnas are, from the little I read, beyond the pale, so like so much so called professional sport, it stinks.
Sorry, but I am just too old to give a bu99er any more!! :roll:

So you did not see the race?
Well then that is your loss. I've watched F1 since the 70s and am have always been a big fan and can't remember a race more excitinge than this.
Yeah! And the real thing would have had him puffing on a fag with a glass of wine in his spare hand! :clap:DKZ5745 said:Shame that’s just CGI. Actual footage would haVe been better.
