Bring it! Doing the racing equivalent of the peepee dance. Want so bad to let it out but got to hold it for one more day! Maybe that's just this morning's coffee talking. Shaping up to be a great season!

Thinking about signing up for the official F1 TV stream this year. 10 bucks a month for great access to my favorite sport doesn't seem like that much. Anybody tried it out yet?
