I know these stats are present on other auto sports sites and people can check them their. But my reason of posting them here is only for future reference when during a discussion something need to be pointed with data. One could easily check all the data from here without investing a dime. Also you are complaining about others not interested in discussing F1 but have you posted any comment about any race in this topic before today. Discussion is a 2 way process where both sides present their views, otherwise when only one person is talking it is being referenced as teaching or preaching.

Lastly, welcome to the discussion and F1 community of Pakwheels.

Brother I am not questioning your ways of learning about motorsports activities around the world and neither were criticizing you when I said you are complaining I was rather referencing about the simple fact that it was your first post in this topic on this forum and you are telling me that it is not necessary to post some stuff just because it is available on other sites or people are not discussing F1 in particular or motorsport in general on this forum.

Well just for the record I am a member of Autosport Forum and PlanetF1 Forum and on those forums on each racing weekend all the session data is been posted in their respected topics and no one question about why this data is been posted when it is available on their news section.

I have not missed the first line of your post but it was like putting a layer of sugar on a bitter gourd (Karella), so sorry for not replying to that.

Also, don't confuse this topic with the whole forum dedicated to F1 or motorsports around the world.

I also would say that for last one and half year I have not watch any F1 race live on TV because of cable operators decision to remove sports channel from cable on the ground of those being Indian Channels. So that is also a factor why I am not posting comments about races like I was previously during the past seasons.

Have a good day and a healthy life.

Bhai, looks like you are trying to criticize me in as many ways as possible within the limit of sanity. Well good for you, carry on. When I clearly says that it was your first post in this topic and you after acknowledging my work comes out asking why I am doing this?? What do you think this made me understand about your intention that you are worried I am wasting my time or that I am just increasing my post count.

One post don't give the hint that what is the intention of the person posting it is. So, if your first post made me confuse about your intention the subsequent posts by you have cleared it that you are thinking I should not be posting this because no one is taking interest in reading or clicking it.

Also, looks like you have not understanded the reason why I am doing this on here well just imagine it as a way of bookmarking F1 news but instead of saving the links on my private pc I am doing it on public domain. Because nowadays I am posting links from espnf1.com and I could assure you without the link here you could not find any news piece on their website with in seconds without wasting any time. As for Autosport's website, they have a limit on free viewing so even though they are ahead of espn in terms of news its not worth it.

I do understand the definition of complain and I do think this was the an appropriate word to describe your post because the other exact word would be way too offensive to be used to describe it.

Sorry for the sugar on bittergourd comment.

Thanks for generating some posts in this topic.

At the start of our interview, the Starbucks-style coffee is placed within easy reach, but it's not touched again for 20 minutes as he maps out F1's plans for expansion in the U.S..
