ParticipantWhen you feel the need to warm the tyres on your car, or in my case, motorcycle.
Or best yet, when you’re making love to your girlfriend and ask her if we can continue this later because the race is about to start… (should I be worried by the this one?)

ParticipantWhen you realise you have no chance to watch the race live, you record it and then spend the whole day with no TV Internet Radio on. You hurry the kids to bed let the wife watch her weekends 4hrs of reality TV and then sit down and watch the whole coverage at midnight, going to bed at 3am and then getting up at 6am to go to work.

Participant@Chalky! I did exactly that with the Brazil qualifying. I have no wife and kids though, but still had to protect myself from radio and tv for a whole day.

Participant-When you ignore people just because they don’t know that Suzuka is in Japan
-When you wake up at 3.30am to watch Australian GP practice
-When you can recite all WDC’s from 1950 onward in under one minute by heart (somebody said this earlier, so I took the liberty of adding something that I’m used for at family celebrations)
-When you’re 7 years old, and you find yourself crying because Mika Hakkinen retired from the sport
-When you dream the results of a race before they happen (correct, of course)
-When you’re too addicted to cheer for someone, you just HAVE to watch it
-When you write love songs about Formula One
-When you can’t remember people’s names, and you refer to them as Sebastian, Mark, Lewis and Fernando
-When you cow is named “Red Bull” and your horse “Ferrari” (These animals aren’t actually mine, but I named them)
-When you find it ironic that 60-years-old man has called his team “Virgin”
-When you miss your grandma’s funeral, because you have to watch Spa-Franchorchamps (people day all the time, but Spa is only once a year)
-When you’re not surprised because Jenson Button won a race
And, of course, racing line and psychical pain when missing a race are also there :)
