I've been in a similar situation before. I like to say I'm a huge F1 fan but I can't say I'm 100% knowledgeable in everything F1 and all its rules and sometimes that makes me feel like I'm not a real fan if I can't recite each and every sporting code from the regulations.

I've come to realize that as long as I enjoy watching the racing and keep an open to mind to learning new things about the sport, that's all that matters. I watch videos on YouTube and try to understand as much as I can. F1TV has great primers on the technical stuff and one of the commentators they've hired recently provides great insight.

This season's been a blessing and renewed interest and excitement amongst everyone compared to the past couple seasons which were fairly dull.
