Looking forward to the new F1 season, please dont shoot me down but I will be shouting for Alonso!! 

I probably won't even be going to sleep

I tend to shout *at* Alonso these days, but either way I suspect it'll be an interesting year

I hope so, but last year was so good its hard to see this year being better!

Well, it's already better by not starting with the ultra boring Bahrain race

I'll be up early.......but because of a ten month old boy no doubt.

i'll have a similar alram clock in time for the end of season flyaways

     Bloody kids.  Why can't my missus keep him quiet?!   

indeed!  weve a bit to go yet, been for 20 week scan today, very exciting

My daughter will probably just be getting in from one of the nightclubs 

I wont be getting up early because it will be starting in the middle of the day here in Oz, couldn't go this year so I may sit at home with a cold beer and enjoy the race.

do you get up through your winter to watch the european races?

I used to but these days have to admit that I have lost interest in F1, far more enjoyable watching Drag Racing.

I used to be into motor sport in a big way having spent five years taking part on the short circuit ovals, followed Nigel Mansel in every race he did but these days it seems more of a carnival than a race, its all overpaid primadona's not long out of nappies in cars that all perform much the same because of the very stringent rules on their construction. I dont think its so much a sport these days more of a business!! even so if I was working I would probably watch it even though its at silly oclock in the morning as I would be up getting ready for work

Certainly will be.
Saw my first GP at Silverstone in 1973.
The Woolmark Britsh GP, Jackie Stewart won.

Although I haven't been to a race in many years now I very rarely miss the TV coverage.

I'll be up Fri, Sat & Sun to watch the practice as well in BBC iplayer.

Come on Schumacher and Mercedes - Have I now said a bad thing ?
