Hi everyone,
Some may be looking at my profile and noticing that I've already been a member here for nearly 1.5 years... so I guess it's been long overdue that I finally make a post in this topic.....
My name is Phil and I'm from Zurich, Switzerland. I'm 32 years of age (well nearly), first grey hairs making their appearance too, which may or may not be a result of all the drama surrounding F1. The fact that I am a fan of Lewis Hamilton probably helps too.
Anyway, I started watching F1 during Schumachers/Ferraris domination years, although it was more of an on/off experience at the time. 2007 really was the year when I started watching on a regular basis and from the 2009 season on, I never missed a race (and watch 98% of them live). I've been a fan of Lewis ever since 2008 (before he won his title, but *after* he lost in 2007, being quite anti-Lewis during that year), but that doesn't stop me from admiring the ability of other drivers all the same. I'm not really a fan of any particular team, though being Swiss and living around ~30minutes away from Hinwil, I of course like to see Sauber do well. My main interest in F1 boils down to being quite passionate about cars and racing in general. I find the technology within F1 to be nothing short of fascinating, which is one of the reasons I started following this forum on a regular basis, months before I decided to create a profile.
To those noticing my profile pic - I drive and track a Lotus Exige (supercharged by Bemani) on a regular basis. When I don't, I like driving to the alps and driving mountain passes. My profession is in IT as a computer programmer and specialize in mostly internet services.
Lastly - the reason for signing up at F1T is quite simple: Before posting here, I used to post regularly at PH, but quickly grew tired of all the bickering. I've always come to admire the knowlege on anything F1 related that can be found here and the high level of discussion is beyond any other forum I've ever seen. =D>
Cheers Phil
