Vote for F1 Fanatic in the 2008 Weblog Awards
Last year F1 Fanatic was the only F1 blog nominated in the Best Sports Blog category. This year BlogF1.co.uk has also been nominated. I wish Ollie all the best but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to win!
Another F1 blog is nominated in two different categories. The excellent Sidepodcast is nominated in Best Community and Best Podcast, and I’m going to be voting for them too.
Last year F1 Fanatic was sixth out of ten in the Best Sports Blog voting with 269 votes. The winner was Kissing Suzy Kolber, an American Football blog, with 4,065.
KSK is in the running again this year, along with Deadspin, so the competition is very tough. Please vote now:

Heh, I think you might just do better than me Keith! Best of luck though, I’m really pleased to see two F1 sites in the category – it’s about time! And to also see Sidepodcast in two other categories is awesome.

Thanks Ollie! We’d probably all do better if we had as many pictures of girls on our sites as KSK do

You did have that lovely advert down the right hand side with the lady in lovely underwear.
I had to adblock it on my work PC though, better safe than sorry.
Just don’t stoop to ITV-F1′s level of voting for pitbabes.

I can’t even make out what that KSK site is supposed to be for.

It’s more or less a given that KSK will successfully defend their title. The votes they have this early is crazy!
But it looks like we can gun for ‘best-of-the-rest’ honours.
KSK: 975
Deadspin: 173
F1Fanatic: 79
The Big Lead: 77
Deadspin has a good gap, but we can catch them. Oh, and we’re ahead of the rest too.

When I first looked at the poll, maybe an hour or so after it had opened, KSK already had twice as many votes as I had in total last year!

You had my hopes up there, Aqeel – think you were looking at KSK’s total! I’m going to go have a little cry now…

And my forecast that we can gun for best-of-the-rest looks on target:
KSK – 1316
Deadspin – 272
F1Fanatic – 248
Harold Reynolds – 138
We’re safely in the top 3 right now, and very close to 2nd. C’mon, let’s keep this going!
