Q: Who are you?
A: Our names are Cansu(ichaplin) and Buse(shag-f1). We’re both from Istanbul, Turkey. We’ve attended the last race (that’s where we met) at Istanbul Park together and enjoyed every part of it.  We created this blog as a gif database for our favourite sport.

Our blogs:

• ichaplin F1-Blog / Personal Blog
• shag-f1 F1-Blog / Personal Blog

Q: Who are your favorite drivers?
A: We root for Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton as you can understand from our profile pictures. But we love the sport most, so you shouldn’t have any doubts about fairness.

Q: How often do you make gifs?
A: We certainly make gifs during the race weekends. We try to summarize all sessions after they are run. Other than that, we usually take requests or make gifs from new releases. (Be it ads, or race edits.)

Q: Why do you put your watermark on gifs?
A: Obviously we want some credit. But you can use all of them wherever and whenever you want,  that’s the reason we have this blog.

Q: From which websites do you download all the race footage and coverages?
A: Most of you have probably learned which websites we use for the coverages by now. If you are still curious about this issue, you can ask us. But we rather answer your questions about this topic privately, so please don’t message us anonymously.

Q: Some of your gifs have a great quality and some of them don’t. Why’s that?
A: It all depends on the video the segments are taken from. Some are HQ, some are just regular Youtube videos.

Q: How do you make gifs, and which programs do you use?
A: After we download the material from the internet, we cut the video into little segments (either with Quicktime or Any Video Converter, Total Video Converter), then import them into Photoshop CS5. Quick and simple! Here’s a tutorial for you.

Q: Whose coverages do you use?
A: Mainly SKY Sport. Sometimes we look into BBC’s coverages, too.

Q: Do we take requests?
A: Yes we do! Don’t be shy, ask us! And you don’t need to say “please”.

Q: Is it possible to contribute to the blog?
A: Of course. You can submit your gifs to the blog. Please do so.
