It would be cool if someone could post a few questions like the race threads have but reflecting on the season.
Would you keep watching a football game if it's 8-1 with 60 minutes to go?

Anyway, I can't say how much Webber didn't deserve that 3rd place in the championship as well as how much Alonso did. Always pushing and challenging (and winning) with a car that wasn't quite on the money, while the Australian barely performing with one which was. Vettel's gearbox gifted him the place.
With the season over, what's your favourite race of 2011? Canadian GP 2011 is the one that edges it, seeing Button hunting down Vettel is fucking awesome from every perspective.
Depending on the game, probably.
The whole point of being a fan of a team and not merely a supporter is the willingness to suffer.Not when your team is the one losing, which is the case for many of the people here.

I think it was Nick Hornby in "Fever Pitch" who put it this way: Being a football fan is not about winning the championship. It's about driving two hundred miles to some remote town on a saturday afternoon to watch a game which you knew beforehand to most likely be bad. It's about standing in the pouring rain for ninety minutes seeing two teams fight rahter than play due to lack of talent and still root for your guys and love it.
Eh, it was a metaphor. Just take it as it is and stop being german and overanalyzing everything
I'm just saying it's no wonder most people stopped watching when the competition for the drivers' championship stopped being a competition, the same way someone would stop watching a game when it's a sure loss.
Well, if it is a metaphor, it's a bad one. People, who only support their team, when it has a chance of winning are no real fans. Case in point. Can someone remember the gazillions of Germans in red Ferrari gear between 2000 and 2006? Schumacher is back, but all his former worshippers now wear DEAD BULL caps and root for the other guy, who's winning. That's not fans - that's success tourists. The real fans are the tifosi. They'd be celebrating Ferrari at Monza, even if they were battling for position with the HRT's.
no, those are called fanboys. i'm a person, i relate to and support people, not fancy colours. if those people switch team, i will change my support as well
