Where do you watch Formula One?

June 26th, 2007 by calinescuvm

My TV was broken for a while. I don’t watch TV too much so I let it be. Broken! This year I saw most of the races to a friend of mine who’s got a big screen and it’s cool!
This make me remember a few years ago, when I was a student living in a hostel without TV in my room. back then, with a few days before a race, the quest began: who of my colleague has TV and it’s not leaving at home. Sometimes I colud’nt find anyone so in the race day, I was starting to go from pub to pub to ask if I could watch F1 instead their creapy music programs:d It wasn’t easy in those days to watch F1!
One time I was in another town. I asked where can I find a pub with TV and find out that is a pub where the F1 fans are getting together to watch the race. It was beautiful! Fans from two teams, Ferrari and McLaren were present there(it was 98 or 99) and they were making so much noise with their hornes, they had flags and shirts with their favourite teams. It was an exciting Malayesian Grand Prix, with Schumacher up and down, it was a real show.
I have a few more “special” places watching F1: in a supermarket, when moving I sleeped on the floor with just a blanket and the tv in the house..but there is one more:
From the street, to a TV in a shop window, the shop was closed, I saw the TV from the bus, I was in the bus going to a pub with TV, it was late so get down and stay in street not to miss the start. And I wasn’t alone. A bad smelling “aurolac” watched the race with me(click the linkif you don’t know what is an “aurolac”. there was a few people who stopped a couple of minutes to ask me who is first, what place is their favourite pilot.

I wonder if there are other F1 fans with such stories.
