Every Two Sundays: A Grand Prix Fan's Perspective (Part 2)
08/16/2008
I'm 23 and from the North East of England. I live between Sunderland and a small village named Blackhall which nobody has heard of. I write articles specifically about Formula One since motorsport is the only sport I enjoy. I will watch any sort of racing but cannot give enough of my life to sitting around watching cars sprinting round and round and so concentrate on Formula One, the big league.
I've never attended a Grand Prix but have watched it religiously since 1996 and on and off with my Dad since before then. I hope my articles are informative and most importantly, interesting and fun to read.
We definitely want your input on the F1 Hall of Fame the Bleacher Report is setting up for us so try to stay in touch.
The F1 section is growing madly.

It is that time of month again, the Chequered Flag Roundtable is making its long awaited return, and because you are a top writer, we would like your opinion on the following topic.
“What is your all-time favourite circuit and why?”
A few conditions to this, the answer must be 200-750 words, and the circuit you nominate must have been on the Formula One calendar for more than one season.
The circuit with the most votes will be named as the greatest circuit of all-time, well, from Bleacher Report at least.
Send you answer to mikegriffin_911@btinternet.com
Answers MUST be included in your email and NOT attached as a word document.
Thank you for your contribution to the F1 Community, keep up the good work!
Please send in your answer by Monday 18th August.

You have until 14th July (Monday) to send in a contribution.....If you wish to participate , send in a contribution, 50-200 words, to mikegriffin_911@hotmail.co.uk
Many Thanks, Michael - Roundtable Leader.

Just a quick one to say, even though I sometimes forget to say it in the comments I leave and respond to, I am thankful for any comments and points raised whether in opposition or support or in critique of my work and points. Thank you all very much and thanks for taking the time to read!

No worries, mate. I write a series called "Racing 101" to help better educate people on racing.
You may want to break your stories into bite-sized chunks. That's a problem I have - keeping it simple.
I'm a stickler for detail, love to teach and believe knowledge is made to be shared. It's just a matter of people being able to absorb it.
So keep that in mind, and you'll have plenty of stuff to write about, and readers to read it.

Steven. I was reading your piece on Learning Formula One, and instead of editing it, I thought I'd let you know it needs quite a bit of work (and that's just the section on qualifying). The new format in 2008 is 20/15/10 minutes for Q1,Q2,Q3. Also, all cars will qualify for the race, it's just a matter of setting the starting lineup (whereas in NASCAR there are cars that won't make the field.)
Just thought I'd give you a heads' up and chance to make what looks to be a good article better.

DeleteHey Steven—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.
I've been spending time on our McLaren-Mercedes page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.
Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?
If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.
Thanks so much,
Dave Mo
