Discuss the sport you love with other motorsport fans
...Now I'm watching F1 from the other side of the fence - the side where Hamilton and Alonso fans have been for the last 5 years or so; hoping for a change in regulations to even the field. Now the sport that I was madly in love with is not worth getting up at 2am for anymore. I also don't see a very sustainable future for the sport, and I suddenly want a lot of changes to take place. But yet I know that if Vettel was still winning races, I'd be as happy as Larry - it's funny thing that...
After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!Two things that amaze me:
1) all the dry years Hamilton faced, and all the Lewis fans were still here. Still discussing. Still supporting. The moment Vettel has any sign of difficulty, his fans run and hide as its too hard to cope. they stop discussing. They stop supporting...

Not sure if it's that simple! Just because people stop posting, discussing, etc.,
doesn't necessarily mean they don't support their favourite driver/team.

You're a smart guy! I'm betting you can figure that out, just like you think you have me all figured out!

I'm flattered you think I'm so smart, but really curious about the comment, it seemed as if you had a strong opinion on the topic, certainly strong enough to comment, leaving it like that feels vapid.

Step back from the forest and you might see the trees!
By the way, this is my first post since Suzuka - did you miss me?I don't know when I will next post, but rest assured I've still been lurking around and have enjoyed reading some of the posts. Obviously for me this season has been a lot more difficult to watch, as someone who's thoroughly enjoyed Vettel's dominance for the last 4 years. It's a shock to my system to see Ricciardo doing so well against him, and it's a shock to my system that a driver who I really don't like has won the championship this year - even though he thoroughly deserved it.
Now I'm watching F1 from the other side of the fence - the side where Hamilton and Alonso fans have been for the last 5 years or so; hoping for a change in regulations to even the field. Now the sport that I was madly in love with is not worth getting up at 2am for anymore. I also don't see a very sustainable future for the sport, and I suddenly want a lot of changes to take place. But yet I know that if Vettel was still winning races, I'd be as happy as Larry - it's funny thing that.
Also I have become very tired of reading some of the views that are expressed by a wide majority of the forum. I'm not going to mention it here, but the same themes keep presenting themselves. I've tried avoiding a lot of the threads which I know will annoy me, but they just seem to keep popping up everywhere. So that is another reason why I've been pretty quiet and will probably continue to shy away from posting so often.
So... until next time, whether that is tomorrow or when Vettel wins his 5th World Championship at Ferrari, I just want to say thanks to everyone who've made my time enjoyable here. Enjoy your off-season, and hopefully we catch up with the Mercs next year...
As to who I will be supporting? It's still a mystery, but for now I feel that I won't be supporting anyone next year. Will I be a neutral observer, or just disinterested? I don't know....

You're saying you don't really have an opinion, just a strange unbridled impulse to insert a vapid comment on everything?
After the agony of defeat, success will be sweet!...It is very introspective and I'd even go as far as saying altruistic thing you've expressed. Other members on this forum would rather cut off a thumb than be as honest about themselves as you've just done, so I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for that.

Oh I get you. You mean they were fairweather fans and not true F1 fans. Good point Sagi.

Like I said, you're a smart guy; but, you won't bait me into responding.

Not at all. Just that not everyone feels the need to defend, explain, justify, and rationalize.
