You're thinking of Nascar. F1 actually has right handed corners..

It was my first live F1 race. A couple of us rode bikes up from Pforzheim to see the race. It was Ayrton Senna's rookie season. We had no idea who he was. We also made it to La Mans that year and got to see the 956's sweep the field.

I'm impressed with Vettle, but he is no Senna or Schumacher. I base that on the fact that he just doesn't dominate in the wet like the really great ones do. Alonso is probably the best driver right now...

I think Alonso is among the best on the track at the moment, along with Hamilton, Hulkenburg and (when they're on form) Perez and Massa.

I stopped watching when Danika Patrick switched to NASCAR. I am not a race fan but I kept up with it when she was part of open wheel racing.

I still enjoy it a bit. Alonso was good to watch this year.

Miss the V10s though.

They're meant to be going to V6s in 2014.

Perhaps Formula 0.6 would be a more suitable name now.
