Mine is a Chinese Olympic mascot teddy which I found in a charity shop for about 50p (much cheaper than the original price) still has all the labels attached. I made a Team Lotus logo out of card and sewed it on to his hands.
1) Do you spend some money on F1 or get along with what is available for free (websites, free-to-air TV coverage)?
I pay the TV license, but apart from that I use free websites. I did join Autosport Plus during pre-season testing because they had a special offer and I wanted to read the live updates. But that’a about it.
2) What kind of F1 related items do you usually buy and how often? Race tickets, magazines, books, model cars, teamwear, DVDs,…?
I sometimes buy Autosport, and if I buy it then it has to be a special issue eg: amazing race, season summary. I also bought a mug from Unlap.
3) Do you save money by refusing from something just to be able to spend it on F1 related stuff? I mean, do you buy less clothes, avoid eating out or do whatever else just because so there is more left for F1?
Nope. Barely have enough money for normal life so can’t really spend extra on F1. Although I am going to spend the money I earn from my part-time job on BTCC tickets.
4) Approximately how big part of your “entertainment budget” is spent on F1? One tenth, one third, one half?
I don’t have an entertainment budget as such. So none. I try to avoid spending money and get things for free by entering competitions. So far I have won a picture of Jerome d’Ambrosio, tickets to Silverstone (but I couldn’t go) and a signed photo of my favourite GP2/3 driver.
