To be fair I end up doing the same thing when watching the BTCC sometimes :p

But I've been looking at some of the stats which come out of running the facebook page and it's very startling that a whopping 88% of those who've 'Like'd the page are Male!

Just asked a couple of work colleagues (there other halves work in Mercedes and Renault) and they said they'd rather be on mumsnet!

When I was 22, I was dating an older woman (she was 29 at the time) who loved F1 and was a major Williams fan. It used to be bloody good fun. We would sit on the couch in her flat, me shouting for Ferrari and her for Williams. It was almost better than sex to have a woman who loved motorsports (and F1 in particular) as much as I did. One of the best 5 months of my life :)
