Seriously ..... I like resurgence of Ferrari this year and Mclaren Honda's amazing size zero.

Seriously ..... I like resurgence of Ferrari this year and Mclaren Honda's amazing size zero.

Sorry? What were you saying? ;-)

The tension of the start. The race to the chequered flag. And open cockpits. Qualifying as it is now is not bad.

I like:

• The engine tech
• Spa, Monza, Melbourne, Cota, Silverstone
• Lazy Sundays curled up on my sofa
• Watching FP1&FP2 on DVR after work.
• That it’s not football – the look of people’s barely contained contempt when you say you prefer F1, excludes me from so much inane banter at work.
• The constant underestimation of Lewis, he always comes back and rubbish some pundits/posters ‘expert’ analysis…usually by the end of lap 1
• Spotting another F1 fan whilst out and about (bonus points for wearing a defunct team T-shirt etc)
• The illusion that FOM,FIA, F1 Teams can work together without self interest
• Ferrari
• McLaren getting continuously schooled – what goes around comes around, and by extension Red Bull’s current slump. I like to see arrogant entitled teams pulled down a peg or three
• Being so engrossed in live timing you barely notice the tv feed
• Murray Walker has retired
• People devoting hours of their lives writing out long boring monologues to look credible about how XYZ isn’t actually a good driver and is overrated – 9/10 the subtext is….I don’t like him, I think he’s a d**k
• Silverstone – I live so close I can hear the cars on track most weekends
• Silverstone 2008, Spa 1998, Monaco 2008, Hakkinen 1998-2000
• The weird unPC slightly 1970’s BBC feel with all the pit girls, simpering reporters, daytime soap actresses (aka driver press officers)
• Alan McNish, James Allen, Martin Brundle, Eddie Jordan, Damon Hill
• That Alonso is a complete s**t sometimes but we love him still
• Podcasts – Hi, my name is Alan McNish and you’re listening to….  
• The ultimate team aspect of the sport – ie the driver is the top of a huge support network, all geared towards winning
• Martin Brundle lecturing viewers on how to win a race despite never winning in F1, whilst Herbert and WDC Hill look on meekly and don’t interject with actual real stories of winning
• ≈20 Sunday’s of the year being excused from chores/weddings/social conduct/life whilst watching overpaid guys go round in circles for 2 hours
• JS continually out of touch bi*ching about Lewis, smacks more of jealousy than objectivity most of the time
• F1 Timing app
• Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton, Grosjean
• Liveries
• Qualifying 

​

I don't expect many to agree with what I like, there'd be no forums if all thought the same.

I LOVE the starts. Every single race, the tension builds up to unbearable levels just for the 10 seconds before the lights go out. No other sport gives me such a buzz when I watch it.

I've actually been getting severe heartburn recently during the starts as I get so pumped. I had to take a Rennie for the Bahrain and China races!

liveries.
Its exciting to see a new winner: driver or team.
Sparks
Onboard HD view on a large TV....Monaco
New technologies.
Cars being faster than previous year by x.y sec
Car ducking out of slipstream

Are the onboards actually HD? Compared to rest of coverage, they seem a bit... foggy.
