I like the speed guys.

The only thing I can't stand about the Speed coverage is the effin' delays. Other than that I don't think their commentary is too bad TBH. A whole lot less Lewis/Jens/McLaren sackriding is always a plus.

they delay about 4 or 5 times a year... and that's when it's kicked over to fox/cbs or something...

Yeah, but that's still 4-5 times too many IMO. Some of us like to wake up and watch the race live.

Subconsciously I feel like my screaming at the TV for a live event is justified

I can deal w/ the british sackriding...but the commentary is half drunk banter that almost adds no value most of the time

+1 for F1 driver fitness

"The kid can hammer. We had a great ride." -Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong lavishes praise on Jenson Button after their training ride in Hawaii

i read somewhere that an F1 drive could quit today and be a competitive tour rider straight away... maybe not win, but do very well

[SeaMack99]

so as an avid cyclist does that mean I can jump into a F1 car and be fast?

brb, quitting day job

[Redliner]

Cycling is close, but I don't think cyclist have the muscle endurance that F1 drivers need. Cyclists would be strong in the core, legs, heart. Drivers need all of that and than neck & upper-body muscle endurance as well.

F1 fitness is one of the most under-rated by any sport. It would make American footballers look like children's play.

just look at retired atheletes... footballers fall apart after they leave the sport, F1 guys stay in great shape

A big difference is diet. Guys in the NFL, even the "small" ones eat ridiculous amounts of food. Upwards of 10-15000 calories during training camp. Once they retire, it's tough to scale back down to their level of (in)activity.

Different forms of wear and tear. Much more frequent concussions, sprains, torn ligaments, occasional breaks. Far less shattered femurs and decapitations in American Football though.
