Hello! My name is Annie, I am a masters student, currently doing research for my thesis that is about Formula One. This is a survey aiming to parse a variety of opinions to gain an understanding of Formula 1 fans’ experiences of the sport and surrounding politics.
If you would be willing to spend some of your time filling it in I would be extremely grateful!
If you have friends, family or acquaintances that are also interested in Formula One please do not hesitate to share this with them! The more responses I get the more interesting this will be!!

everything about the Palestinian genocide is disgusting and inhumane and incredibly depressing but there's something extra infuriating to me about the fact that the reason Israel is taking all this land is so they can bulldoze the rubble and build subdivisions. Like not only are they going out of their way to wipe out an entire people and culture in one of the most horrific state actions of the 21st century, but they're doing it in the name of selling fucking tract homes like that's so so incredibly bleak
Voted as the best race of the century (so far), the 2011 Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix was full of spills, thrills, constant interruptions, changing track conditions and a temporarily red flagged session. When the race resumed, it went down to the very last lap.
After starting from P7, Jenson Button had a collision with his McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton, given a drive-through penalty for speeding behind the safety car and then the race was suspended due to torrential rain. When it resumed, Jenson had a collision with Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso, causing him to pit again due to a punctured rear tyre.
This had caused Jenson to be in last place on lap 40 of 70. Then, he came into his element, and the track conditions started to change. The standing water on the track cleared and he gallantly passed through the field, ending up 14th on lap 44. He then cleared the rest of the grid, and ended up 2nd on the final lap, 0.9 seconds behind Sebastian Vettel who had led every lap of the race so far.
However, on turn 6 of the final lap, Sebastian ran wide after losing control, allowing Jenson to overtake him, and he continued right until the chequered flag, eventually defying all odds against him and finishing in 1st place.
After 6 pit-stops, a drive through penalty, 6 safety car deployments and 4 hours, 4 minutes and 39 seconds (making it the longest ever Formula 1 race in history), Jenson Button claimed the race win that defied all imagination.
