Driving through windy roads, I sometimes become an announcer describing my driving as though I was cornering at high-speed through Eau Rouge; my girlfriend shakes her head and rolls her eyes every time.

Can't blame her...

when i go to the karting track and do their "arrive and race" where you rent their kart for a while,.. and im diving into a corner with minimal braking, im screaming in the helmet "Yeah lets do this!!!! " or "If Senna could do it, I can do it too!" or something like that and imagining all the f1 guys have gone thru this and it pumps me up.. even tho im already 25 in a rental kart with no real chance to get anywhere in the sport lol

I sometimes get dirty air coming out of my rear diffuser!

My lottery numbers have remained unchanged since the very first week I started playing it. They were based on my favourite driver numbers of that season (1995). 6 (David Coulthard), 8 (Mika Hakkinen), 14 (Rubens Barrichello), 25 (Martin Brundle), 28 (Gerhard Berger). And the last number is now a mystery to me lost in the depths of time... so any help or suggestions would be greatly welcomed to help me remember! My last number is 43. This would in some way relate to the 1995 F1 season, though I can't for the life of me remember why!! (I've checked, it's not Nigel Mansell's age!! he was 41 / 42!).

Remember video replay of Spa 08 when Kimi started to spin and slapped the wall and somebody in McLaren garage shouted, "yeah, that's what I'm talking about guys". During Singapore race last year when Massa left pit with fuel hose attached, I phoned a friend at 2:30am. When he answered phone I shouted that's what I'm talking about guys, to which he fondly replied, you a**hole and we both busted out in laughter.

When I drive down country lanes that are winding. I change my driving style to a driver of the day to see which has the better lines. oh and sometimes I shout APEX to myself as I hit the apex of a corner

Both my dogs are named after F1 drivers - Webber and Nico. My daughters middle name was going to be Senna until my gf twigged lol...
I'm seriously angry when F1 is interupted (hardly alone there I'm sure), but I've actually missed birthdays, weddings, and family gatherings to watch F1...
I made up a game I used to play about 12 years ago - I used to do make believe F1 races on paper - using dice. Basically I'd cover quali and the race lap by lap where the results were weighted so that the better drivers of the time were more likely to win, but the occasional upset still occurred - I remember Diniz winning the Italian GP in an Arrows... and because I started the game early in the season when Panis was going well, he was weighted fairly evenly with the mclarens, just behind Schumacher and the Williams'. In real life he snapped his legs, in 555 fantasy land he won the world championship!
I have a large collection of F1 memoribilia - some fave items besides the obvious Webber items are the mounted piece of Rubens Ferrari I collected after he crashed in front of me in Australia 2003, a signed program from Peter Brock (not F1 but still significant for obvious reasons), my Ferrari pants made from a large flag, my 1979 oversized stamp thats fairly rare depicting Arnoux and Villeneuve at Dijon, and my large Senna mural that adourns the wall next to where I'm typing...
Oh and of course when I'm driving I don't wait for the green, I wait for the red to go off... and ALWAYS hit the apex on roundabouts...

I do the same thing when I'm stuck in traffic. I pretend to be Jonathan Legard.

[Stealthgate007]

I say "Go on!! Go on!!" or "Push it Son!!" a lot more.

[7UpJordan]

I yell "GETAWHEELSTUCK!! GETAWHEELSTUCK!! GETAWHEELSTUCK!!" when somebody like Hamilton comes into the pits. That all started off back in 1995-ish when Schumacher once came into the pits, got a wheel stuck and Damon Hill ended up winning the race in the end.

i recieved lewis hamilton's book for christmas a couple of years ago and never read it.

[Gilles 27]

I've never watched a F1 race in my life, I'm pretty much blagging it on here.
