Q & A



I have got some unanswered questions in my inbox regarding my blog, Formula One and myself.
Had this idea that I could from now on post some of the questions here and answer them all at once.

Like I promised earlier, I will never post anyone's name or other information anywhere so all the questions comes from "anonymous readers".

The questions are in no particular order so don't get confused. The questions are not linked to each other in no way.

Q: You said on your Facebook page that you wanted feedback. I really like the documentaries you post on your blog. Keep it up mate! Where are you exactly from? You have talked about many different countries so I am a bit confused.

A: I am a Fennoswede. We are swedish speaking people living in Finland. 6% of the population in Finland speak Swedish. Our country used to be a part of Sweden, later we were a part of Russia and in 1917 we became independent. So you can understand that some of us still speak Swedish even though our country has it's own language.

Q: Less videos and more writing, please! Is it easier to run your page when you don't have to write anything?

A: I am sorry if I haven't had enough time to write every day. My work takes a lot of my time and if I had more time I would write more. The videos are just so you had something for every day. Have you noticed that I have posted a video or a regular blog post every day since I started this blog? It's hard work to keep everybody happy but I try my best.

Q: You mentioned that you are going to Abu Dhabi to make a report about the Grand Prix. Did you get a sponsor already or are you paying for everything yourself?

A: My trip to Abu Dhabi is not just because of this blog. I would go there even if this blog wouldn't exist. I've been there before and I love the place.
I am paying for everything myself. I get nothing for writing this, so you could say that this is all for you readers. This blog is also my way of speaking about my favorite sport when I don't really have that many friends that follow Formula One. In Finland ice-hockey is the most popular sport and that's what everybody's talking about here.

Q: Why does it sometimes say "winner" in the results where the full race time should be?

A: If I post the results right after the race, the official race time hasn't been announced yet on the official Formula One page. Usually I have changed it later when I have had time and the results have been announced on the official page.

SEND EMAIL TO F14LIFEBLOG@GMAIL.COM IF YOU WANT TO AKS ME MORE QUESTIONS. I WILL ANSWER THEM EVENTUALLY.
