I did actually lose interest and stop watching for a couple of years a few seasons back, Starting in about 2002 and probably inspired by Ferrari's team orders in Austria, although their monotonous dominance that year didn't help. Ironically it was only the emergence of Alonso and Raikkonen as serious challengers that lured me back in 2005.

This weekend leaves a(nother) bitter taste in the mouth but I think in the end the difference this time is that a) I've been watching Hamilton racing in different formulas for several years now and have too much invested in him to walk away, and b) the championship is so much more exciting it's still worth watching. However, if this silliness grew to the point where McLaren and Hamilton decided to race in a different formula I'm fairly sure I'd follow them without a backward glance.

Like you i have watched lewis through several formulaes and and want to see him through to the ultimate prize, but........Its becoming more and more of a farce. That race sunday was great at the end. Any driver could have won or stuffd it in the wall and then the FIA spoilt it. I wish all the teams would walk and just leave ferrari and the FIA on their own.

I love racing, F1 is the pinnacle of car racing so i have no coice really!

i thought i saw some of the best racing in a long time sunday night yet the FIA thinks otherwise

i think we all know the problem and its not F1 its the governing body

Well, I'm the first to vote "Will stop watching for a while...." But you guys make a while seem 12 months+.

What I'm doing now:

I will not watch Monza race. I'm gonna put the MotoGP ahead of it, which comes on early morning, a couple of hours after the "Delayed Broadcast" finishes.

I have never put another race, movie, over Formula 1 (well, since I started following it.) I look forward to jumping on the forums after the race, to find out what happens.

I do not think it is wise for me to make so many sacrifices for Formula 1. I even put a race ahead of my course, and sleep. Anyway, the Asian timeslots don't really suit my busy lifestyle. So, I most likely won't watch another race until Brazil.

Next season, I'll start fresh. However, if more controversy like this comes up again - that's it. F**k it!

There's no need to be cheeky, Gregg. He's entitled to his views. At the end of the day, Formula One is meant to be a competitive sport and if hammy08 doesn't feel that the sport is fair, it undermines one the key (if not the key) premise of Formula One.

I'm not being cheeky just saying adios, nothing more nothing less.

You'll still see me online over the next month. Just not gonna sacrifice anymore sleep to watch a race because of the corruption. Let's wait and see what happens after Monza....

Anyway, gonna catch some much needed Z's now....

I am going to continue watching F1 but if there's any more contravecy next seaons then I will stop watching.

[texasmr2]

I will never stop watching F1, why should I let the inner political circus determine my love for the sport and if I watch it?
