I tried to get into watching F1, but it can be quite boring.

....Any motorsport can be quite boring. Look at the Jerez round of the MotoGP bike racing: Boring until the last 7 laps and then it was awesome. Even the BTCC series has its boring moments.

VW into F1? I thought that was first hinted at some time ago.

So by around 2015 I can have a F1 derived 1.5L turbo unit in my new golf!  :grin:
