Sigh, I can't argue with the fact that on many courses the race turns into little more than a " follow the leader " run and ends roughly in the same order as it starts.. It's losing some appeal for me as well , I fast forward through much of the recorded races nowadays . Still the sport must have an immense following, given the crazy money paid to drivers , investments made in cars, etc.. I read somewhere that after football ( real football , as in " soccer " ) F1 is the second ( albeit a much distant second ) most followed sport world-wide . I found that very difficult to believe, but not sure what else would fit in that second spot - certainly not American football , or basketball, or rugby, or tennis, or baseball, or any other sport that comes to mind..
