I'll admit it up front: I'm not and F1 fan (or any motor sport really) but F1 is truly boring and has been for years. The only exiting action takes place up to the first corner. There then follows an hour and a half or so of cars processing round the circuit with the eventual winner winning by dint of; his pit crew being faster than anyone else's; a better refueling strategy (yawn!) and automatic controls relieving the driver of much of the resposibility for the operation of the car. Hopefully the fiasco at Indianapolis will not only shake up the tyre suppliers but cause a revamp of the whole thing to make it INTERESTING. Compare F1 with motorcycle racing. F1 is a very poor second for entertainment (and no, I'm not equating entertainment with crashes and the deaths of drivers). T
