Well if so your luck's in as I've teamed up with Dusky Blog F1 to hold an F1 quiz, and I've put together some F1 questions to test your knowledge of the sport's past and present.
And the person who scores the most points will win a Red Bull cap, a McLaren 2013 calendar and an F1Times T-shirt (M). The prizes have been contributed by @naijasolar and my good self.
We'll accept entries via email until Tuesday 29th January, 7.59pm. To take part, or even just to register your interest, please follow me, @TalkingaboutF1, and @DuskyBlogF1 on Twitter and tweet the hashtag #duskyF1Quiz and we’ll send you the email address to forward your answers to by direct message (see the Terms & Conditions below).
@naijasolar is running the Adidas Half-marathon for Red Bull Racing’s charity, Wings For Life and has an eBay auction to sell some F1 memorabilia for the charity.

Terms and Conditions:
If you would like to participate in the quiz, please follow @duskyBlogF1 & @TalkingaboutF1 on Twitter, and tweet us with hashtag #duskyF1Quiz and we’ll send you the email address to forward your answers. Entries sent from the same email address to both Talking about F1's and Dusky Blog's accounts will count as one entry only and only the lowest score will count.
Ideally, we’d prefer if participants DIDN’T use internet searches but since we can’t police this, it is not disallowed.
Please allow 28 days for the prize to reach you if you are the selected winner. The winner may be requested to contribute a percentage of the shipping costs if postage of the prize to their address exceeds the value of the item.
Judge’s decision is final and there is no cash alternative for the prize.
If the winner does not DM or email their postal address within 5 days of being pronounced the winner, then the prize will be awarded to the 2nd highest scorer. If that person doesn’t respond after 5 days too, then the prize is retained and may be donated to a charity.
And last but not least, good luck and hope you enjoy the quiz!
