I have to think hard about it and will probably indeed stop watching for at least a while/as long as MM/BE are in charge.

With the current uproar and taking last year's scandal into account, are you going to continue to watch F1 or will you actually and definitely stop watching? (try to be as honest as you can when you vote - there's no point in jacking up the boycott number if you don't mean it and follow through).
Thus, here we go:

BTW: you can choose up to 2 options in this poll, so please specify not only your F1 watching plans, but also your preference in terms of teams!

I've made my vote, I'll keep watching, it's what happens on track that matters, not the Stewards.

If i was going to stop watching because of some ridiculous travesty of a result like this, i would've already done it, after the British GP 1998 probably. :P

I've very often thought about not watching the sport, but I don't feel I can do that. For a start, I love McLaren and by not watching Formula One, I feel I would be forsaking the team. Second, I enjoy Grand Prix racing, in terms of the technology, strategy, etc. Also, I don't see anything coming out of not watching Formula One. Unless something was properly organised, with the vast majority of the sport's fans not watching Grands Prix, me not watching Formula One would be futile.

For those that voted no, please like you will stop watching F1, read F1, F1 forum, with all the uproar and bs, its still the pinnacle of motorsport racing and ratings have gone up.

I stopped watching after the first race of 2004 which was just as dull if not worse than Valencia this year, I had enough of Schumacher's dominance and the fact Barrichello was pretty much not allowed to challenge him, and races were becoming more and more processional. I missed out on the entire 2005 and half of the 2006 seasons and it was that one afternoon in August 2006 when I was flicking channels I saw the Hungarian Grand Prix on TV and it was wet, so I decided to watch... and what a race!! This reignited my spark for F1 well and truly, and seeing Button win brought back memories of what it was like when an English driver won. :)

I went for the 'have to think hard about it, but probably will come around and keep watching,' because I'm somewhere in between this view and the die-hard fan option. I would be lying if I said I'm going to stop watching F1, because that's just not going to happen, but I would also be lying if I said this hasn't had any impact on my opinion of the sport.

Oh, and I'm not a die-hard fan of McLaren, but I'm heavily anti-Ferrari, a view which hasn't been helped by yesterday. Because McLaren are the only team in the way of the scuderia winning everything, I back them in the fight for the title. Especially because they have a Brit on board.

Imagine what could happen to BMW Sauber next year if the conspiracy theorists were correct.
