- bigpun, on 11/01/2008, -0/+15Massa took the pole for tomorrows race and Hamilton qualified in p4 (Trulli p2 and Raikonen p3).
Hamilton needs to finish 5th or above to secure the title (assuming Massa wins tomorrow)
Should be a great race and a spectacular finish to an eventful season - bixby1, on 11/01/2008, -3/+17This is my first year watching F1 and I've really enjoyed it...almost as much as Moto GP (which, next to bullfighting, is the greatest sport ever)
- datcrazydj, on 11/01/2008, -1/+9The qualifying for this race was ***** awesome.
- KaJuN4, on 11/01/2008, -0/+8Tough choice...Digg for F1 or bury for another lousy slideshow web page...
- PFrocker, on 11/01/2008, -1/+8The Brazilian Crowd was so massive and there was so much energy!
Wish all races showed this much passion from the fans. - MaxterICC, on 11/01/2008, -5/+11Hamilton's gonna choke. again.
- Temo1, on 11/01/2008, -1/+6Wow... I feel like you've totally pranked me into reading that long drivel. I want my 2 minutes back. Jerk.
- feliks2, on 11/01/2008, -0/+4***** my dorms, I don't get Speed chanel. Can I get a live stream of the race anywhere online with decent quality?
- mrpippy, on 11/01/2008, -0/+4There are viewing links here: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/f1-information/f1-faq/
The soccer-live stream will be the best, if it works. Otherwise, TVU's stream of Speed (nee Wheels) is also good if it works. Justin.tv doesn't always have an English stream, and if it does, it could be hard to find underneath the other language ones. Come into the F1fanatic live blog before the race tomorrow if you can't find anything. - Jimmerz, on 11/02/2008, -0/+3F1 is great, Moto GP is great, you lost me with the bullfighting. That's only fun when the matador is maimed or killed. He's the one there by choice, and so he's the one who should suffer, not the bull.
Martial arts, any sort of combat between two consenting adults is manly. Bull fighting is torture by bitches. - djodorg, on 11/01/2008, -1/+3F1's intense. It's real hardcore racing and it's really fun to watch. They use to have indy here in vancouver, but lost it.
- PFrocker, on 11/02/2008, -0/+2digg it, F1 hardly gets digged on Digg
- estacado, on 11/02/2008, -0/+2Though the title race is exciting, but the actual races themselves is getting boring. F1 needs a few loose cannon drivers. Everything is just too safe and ordered now. They need somebody that's not afraid to bump other cars a bit, and punch other drivers in the face after the race is finished.
- Mannyy, on 11/01/2008, -8/+10Massa ftw!
- explnx, on 04/27/2009, -0/+2Bullfighting is for pussies, gladiators are where it's at.
- ScaryUK, on 11/02/2008, -0/+27000 fans of F1!? Where did you get that figure?
Strange how almost every single fan of F1 is currently in Brazil and none are watching at home - replikhant, on 11/02/2008, -0/+2Wow, you sure got bitter after the FIA dropped your Canadian GP.
- karan1003, on 11/02/2008, -0/+2Schumacher retired after a long term (he was one of the oldest drivers on the grid), as did Barrichello. Jordan ran out of money because it couldn't find sponsors and it didn't have the financial backing the manufacturers did.
- KaJuN4, on 11/01/2008, -0/+2Some fellow racing enthusiasts tried to put me onto MotoGP this year but I just couldn't stick with it. Maybe it was because I started watching when the season was almost over but it was just disappointing hearing them say how much more action the races have yet the rider's championship was decided with three races left to go.
Although I will admit that Indy was loads of fun to watch in those hurricane conditions. I hated that track for F1 but for some reason it works well for the bikes. - feliks2, on 11/01/2008, -1/+2He will win the championship. Maybe the race.
- ScaryUK, on 11/02/2008, -0/+1I fear that you're right, don't think I can bear to watch him throw it away again
- inactive, on 11/01/2008, -2/+3gladiators are for pussies, slap game is where it's at
http://lulcat.com/2008/10/19/iranian-slap-game/ - replikhant, on 11/02/2008, -0/+1Mirror please.
- pagodamedia, on 11/01/2008, -0/+1Usually someone on justin.tv has a stream going.
- Aceman196, on 11/02/2008, -0/+1I hope he wins. First Black Man to be a F1 champion

totomix, sts, sportingbet expekt - pstroll, on 11/01/2008, -18/+2If is now official. Digg has confirmed: F1 is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered motorsport community when FIA confirmed that F1 viewership has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all TV ratings. Coming on the heels of a recent FIA survey which plainly states that F1 has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. F1 is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent motorsport poll.
You don't need to be the Amazing Kreskin to predict F1's future. The hand writing is on the wall: F1 faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for F1 because F1 is dying. Things are looking very bad for F1. As many of us are already aware, F1 continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Scuderia Ferrari is the most endangered team of them all, having lost 93% of its core staff. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Ferrari drivers Michael Schumacher and Reubens Barrichello only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Scuderia Ferrari is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
FIA leader Bernie Eccelstone states that there are 7000 fans of F1. How many fans of IRL are there? Let's see. The number of F1 versus IRL posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 IRL fans. A1GP posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of IRL posts. Therefore there are about 700 fans of A1GP. A recent article put NASCAR at about 80 percent of the racing market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 NASCAR users. This is consistent with the number of NASCAR Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Jordan, abysmal sales and so on, Jordan Racing went out of business and was taken over by Spyker who sell another troubled brand. Now Spyker is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that F1 has steadily declined in attendance. F1 is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If F1 is to survive at all it will be among motorsport dilettante dabblers. F1 continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, F1 is dead.
