Just realised I forgot to post mine!
1) Which driver(s) do you follow?
All of them. But I have a special place for Hulkenberg, Button, and Chilton
2) Which team(s) do you like?
Don't really have any preference, perhaps Williams.
3) Which team and drivers have you followed in the past?
Kobayashi, Senna (Bruno version)
4) What was your favourite moment watching F1?
I'm going to go with either watching Canada 2011, or a bit more recently, Kobayashi holding Button off to take the podium in Japan
5) What was your worst moment watching F1?
If the years when Schumacher was completely dominant to the extent of it being boring as hell can't count, then I'll go with the action at Mclaren during 2007 season (that means Spygategate, Alonso/Hamilton's childish scraps, etc.) - completely took the focus off the sport and dragged F1's reputation through the mud.
6) What do you do for a living?
Full-time student! Except the 28 weeks a year I have off. Life is good.
7) Where abouts are you from?
Norwich, just like everyone else on here
8) What other interests do you have outside F1?
Ask Bando, he's the one that got me into that weird ****
video games, Newcastle United, humour.

Anyone else noticed that Silver deleted his info? Perhaps he's not coming back...
I hope he does, the place wouldn't be the same without him.
I don't know what happened really. I know he had a bit of a tiff with Sgt but it looked like a storm in a teacup to me. Was there something else?
I hope he does, the place wouldn't be the same without him.
He'll still win fanboy of the year even if he is gone for the rest of the season
I wonder if we gave him the impression that we take a lot of what he says with a pinch of salt? I know he can go stark raving mad at times (someone has to
) but he also comes up with a lot of intelligent debate, and finds unseen news quickly, so yeah it wouldn't be quite the same. I don't really know what happened there myself.
