I do like a bit of Star Wars. I like both series but the originals are my favourites (mainly as they are the ones I saw back in the day when they got re-released at the cinema's over a decade ago).

Hi guys. My name is Craig and I am eighteen years old, turning nineteen in just over a months time. I was born in Gravesend in Kent in the South East of England on July 7th 1993, along with my twin sister. For my whole life so far I have lived in Dartford, just a couple of miles from where I was born. When I was seven years old I was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome (a form of autism). My main intrests include cars & motorsports, gaming, arts (digital art especially) and heavy-metal music. I also enjoy playing pool, bike riding and spending time with friends.

I've been a huge Formula One fan ever since I saw my first race, which was the Monaco Grand Prix of 2001. I remember David Coulthard going from hero-to-zero in a matter of seconds when he stalled on pole-position and got sent to the back of the grid, effectively ending his chances.

My favourite driver of the current lot is Kamui Kobayashi because of the excitrment his attacking driving style and do-or-die overtakes provide. Sauber, the team which Kamui races for, is my current favourite. Perhaps it seems an odd choice but I love their driver line-up at the moment, which is why I support them. Also I get the feeling that the teams founder & owner Peter Sauber, has a real passion for the sport.

Anyway I don't want to make this too long as it is only an introduction. If anyone wants to add me, please feel free to do so. :)

Thanks Garfield! :) I haven't played any of the recent Formula One games as I don't own an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. I have a PC but I very much doubt the games would perform well on my PC, since it's not high-spec.

Ah that is a shame, the games are very good. What games do you play if you do not mind me asking?

Also you may want to take a look at the Canada prediction thread when Redders opens it up, we make predicitons on teams and drivers to get points (sort of like fantasy football). Would be nice to see a new name in the charts there (also I am having a terrible season so a new person only boosts my position haha).

Sorry Garfield, I only just noticed your comment. I'm busy playing a game while browsing through the forums at the same time so I scrolled straight to the bottom post. Next time I'll remember to check more carefully...

Mostly I play racing & driving games, Gran Turismo being my favourite gaming series. Test Drive Unlimited & Need for Speed: Most Wanted are another two favourites of mine and I really enjoy The Simpsons Hit and Run, since it combines driving with action & adventure. Of course there are other games too but I won't list all of them here. I should mention though that I do play some of the older F1 games. Recently I've also been getting more into other genres through playing free online MMO's. One I'm really enjoying at the moment (and playing right now infact) is a game called AION, which I play along with some college friends. :)

Thanks for telling me about that Garfield; I'll be sure to head over there when Redders opens up! :)

Hello, I'm Alberto, I'm 34, born in Madrid, Spain. I'm a Mechanical Engineer with a masters degree in Vehicle Technologies and Numerical Simulation (Finite Element Analysis and Multi-Body Simulation). Currently I live in London, but I travel a lot to Germany and back to Spain for work.

I've been following F1 since I was 10, my favorite pilots being Schumacher and Senna. From the current roaster, my fav ares Alonso (obviously), Vettel and Raikkonen, which I consider the best ones.

Happy to be here : D

Haha, thanks for the warm welcome! Also I'm pretty sure I know what you mean, it's something I see in my fellow Spaniards all the time!

It's a shame being unable to see the truth because of one's fannatism can take out a lot of the joy of this sport. It's something we were used to see a lot in football, much less in F1. That's the negative side of the "Alonsomania", and yes, it pains me to say it's mostly us Fernando fans the ones guilty of this :P

Oh, trust me. I know we're seven races in but Force India are useless. Button's just sandbagging currently, he's the star of the show ;)

...in my dreams :cry:

Those McLaren are a mess, I can't for the love of God understand what's going on. They had the fastest car late last season, they have two very good drivers, a great engine, what the hell is going on? Did Lowe's departure hurt them that much? 

And I love Button, I think he's a great driver, and arguably the best driver on wet track now, but what's up with him? Sergio Perez has been outmatching him lately. I know McLaren's current form can take its toll, but he needs to get his act together. The same applies for the whole team.
