You going to the race, or practice? How close is the track to your house? Who do you want to win? Inquiring minds want to know…

Tim, I haven't been to the F1 race in over 15 years, since the races became a carousel. The track is 30 miles from my house, I usually go to historical endurance&F1 events. Currently have no favorite F1 driver, my last was Nigel Mansell ...

Jaunjo:
Thanks for answering! COTA in Austin Texas is 3 &1/2 hours away. Went and spent a ton of money to see Hamilton win going away a few years ago. Boring!!!! I had forgotten the historical races. I was a Mansell fan also. But even he was boring in 1991…
I have come to a very real fascination with Fangio. He started racing in Europe in 1948, when he was 37 years old. Won his last World Title when he was 47. He won 5 world titles with 4 different teams. To put that into perspective, Lewis Hamilton is 37, with 7 World Championships, with 2 teams. So, imagine Hamilton just starting, and in 10 years he would have to win 5 titles with McLaren, Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes twice…
Senna was the fastest of all time, but Fangio is the greatest winner in my opinion…
