*Raises hand*

Been watching since 1994. Admittedly as a four year old it's just cars driving fast, but my Mum got me watching.

Last race I missed live was the 2003 United States Grand Prix. On count, I believe I've seen 166 consecutive live races (even waking up at stupid times to plonk myself in front of the TV!).

I've been a Jenson Button fan since he took his first podium in 2004. Was a DC guy before that.

Me too! I have been watching F1 since 1997. So I might have, watched 200+ races but I don't know for sure, but if I have, it probably has been that long.

On a sad note Speed TV (local USA) will no longer cover F1 on their channel. It will now go to the NBCsports cable channel, but I would love to see the BBC coverage of F1 races.

I love motor racing in general. I used to watch F1 with my parents when I was a kid then stopped for a few years for various reasons then started again about 2007. More recently I've also started following NASCAR (Cup, Nationwide and Trucks), Indycar and V8 Supercars. I've enjoyed the racing more in recent years due to the performance of the teams being closer together. The final race of the year at Brazil was fantastic, Vettel really proved he could handle the pressure while coming back through the pack (probably helped by having finished well after starting at the back at Abu Dhabi two races prior). Just as exciting a finish as the last race of the 2008 season. The US Grand Prix was great too, it was nice to see the cars sliding around with relatively low grip. Eagerly awaiting the start of the 2013 season now!

I was there at the US Grand Prix weekend for all three events. It was amazing. Got to meet some of the drivers and got Fernando Alonso's autograph.

WOW! I'm jealous! Although when I was 10, I met Murray Walker (BBC commentator) which was the most amazing thing ever at the time because I totally idolised him

and still do, lol.

My first taste of F1 was back in 2001 when I listened to BBC Radio 5 Live and enjoyed it since, my all-time favourite F1 driver is the late Ayrton Senna because he was a legend!
