Hello guys,
I'm Riccardo, 21 years old from England (not far from London), although I am Italian (but I live in England, which I adore and not in Italy, which I hate

)
I am studying Astrophysics at Royal Holloway, University of London, which I very much enjoy.

I love and always have loved Formula, and I've watched it since I was very little.
It's my passion. There is nothing quite like it

Being Italian I support Ferrari, although it is not as easy as it sounds.
In fact, I started supporting Michael Schumacher in 1994 (after Senna's death), and from 1996 I supported Ferrari as a consequence of Schumacher's move.

I have always been around in F1 forums, but lately I haven't. And for no particular reason.
So I have decided to come back.. here..

I am sure I will meet a lot of great F1 fans here, with which to have fantastic F1 conversations

Bye for now!

I tend not to support a team, I have my favourite drivers, Jenson Button, Mark Webber & Kamui Kobayashi, before that, Damon Hill & Nigel Mansell. I simply dislike Ferrari because of their history of moaning in recent times and getting away with a lot during the Schumacher years, serving a stop/go after finishing the race, and of course the blatant switcheroo at the Hungarian GP in 2002, just a couple of reasons I dislike Ferrari! But I have no issue with Ferrari fans as long as they are not blinkered fans who can see nothing wrong with Ferrari's actions when clearly Ferrari have done wrong! Anyway, welcome again to the forum, best race on the calendar coming up next!

I was looking at the prices for this year and the full weekend tickets were around £120 which in my mind is good money considering silverstone was around £170 this year. I've never been to an F1 race before but I hope that next year I will be able to go to Silverstone.

Eheh, I was joking

I do know perfectly well why people don't like Ferrari, don't worry

And I tend to support drivers as well. I started with Mansell and Senna until 1992 when Mansell retired, so afterwards it was just Senna. And from Imola '94 I started supporting Schumacher.
But it happened that Schumacher drove for years and years for the most important italian team ever, which my father supported, so.. you know.. I started supporting Ferrari as well.

@MattMK45: Yeah, the prices are not bad for Spa. Luckly

Silverstone, on the other hand, tends to be on the more expensive end of the spectrum, but oh well.
I usually go to Silverstone, though, because considering travel costs it is the cheapest option.
I've been there in '08 (very bad race for Ferrari

) and this year (still, not a great race for me!) whilst in '09 I just went for practice on friday.
Monza and Imola were also fun
