You know you've been watching F1 for too long when..

Shane Butler · Jan 15, 2013

You take the racing line when walking or pushing the trolley when shopping..

You get up at crazy times in the morning just to watch a race live or even free practice..

You count down the days until the first practice session in Australia..

Every time you stop at traffic lights, you imagine it to be the start of a race and you watch the light, eagerly ready to floor the throttle..

Can you come up with any more?

I noticed myself doing this a couple of days ago

Took the corner too early and clipped the wall at the apex(shoe care stand at the end of the aisle)

You wear a crash helmet to play F1 2012.

Guilty

you take the racing line while walking as well as upshifting and downshifting
you are a passenger in the car and take a packet of wipes and use it as a steering wheel
you have an F1 car sound as a ringtone

Many moons ago, uh?

About the driving...yeah, definitely guilty. I'd never violate the traffic code, tho. Taking a racing line around corners etc. is fine as long as I'm not putting anyone in danger and obey the speed limit.

Just saw this. I'm guilty as hell.

I had this some years ago, but those around me always wondered what the terrible noise was, so I changed it.

When it is slippery with snow outside I take the racing line in corners when running. I think it works great.

You're using the handles for the windscreen wipers and turnsignals in your car as shiftpadles

Everytime I shift up there's that damn fluid on my windscreen
