Hello,
I am geetface9 and I live in Arizona in the U.S. I just got into F1 last year at the beginning of the 2010 season since nascar tv, I mean speed tv, played it late at night/early morning when I get off work, so I was able to watch a fair chunk of the races live. I just got captivated by how skilled those guys are in those cars and the engineering behind all of it just blew me away, especially the seemingly simple stuff like the F-duct (simple in the fact that all they had to do was put their hand over a hole and it gave them a few more MPH top speed). It's fascinating stuff. Anyway, I really got into it, and I had taken a liking to Mark Webber after a few races, and the Turkish GP was when I learned to DESPISE vettel and every fiber of his being. But that's a tale for another thread.
It sucks because nobody here in the states gives two damns about F1, at least not anybody that I know around here. I felt kind of isolated all season when I would jump up off my couch and throw my fists in the air in triumph on the several occasions when vettel $#!@ed up or when Kubica gave up a place to Webber in the pits at Spa because there was nobody around to share my enthusiasm.
Anyway, I'm here to stay and I'm not going to miss a single GP for a long time to come thanks to my new DVR bought solely for the purpose of recording every race.

Not bad for a #2 driver

haha I actually started gaining some respect for the station since they played a boat load of touring car and motorcycle racing and such after the F1 season, but as of last week they went back to their normal 10 hours of nascar per day so I don't even leave it on for noise any more.
