    Yep,

    I cant see what people get excited about. The same drivers in the same cars usually always win. The events of yesterday were the most exciting thing to happen in it for years. This is one insanely boring sport that I just cannot fathom for the life of me why so many like it.

    Now, you want an exciting motorsport? Try banger racing! :) Seriously though, its far more entertaining than F1 could ever hope to be.

    I can see the attraction in MotoGP, TT, rallying, and similar events, but F1... :sleep:

    Rugby I can accept... at least bones occaisionally get crunched ;)

    Cricket and Golf though, jeez, a cure for insomnia. I always thought people only went to cricket matches so they could justify sitting in the sun and drinking scrumpy to their wives. Golf is obviously a sport for playing rather than watching (although not my cup of tea).

    It started off a good season, Ferrari are well of the pace and stuggling, (yes!) so Renault are doing well, so I can't see how you can think its the same old same old. Been a couple a good crashs too with Rikinen's suspension failure, its been a prity eventual season, with prevous years, yes I would agree with you, very boring, but this year up until the USA race, has put the spark back into it.
    Unfortunatly its all got political and this just makes me turn off, its all stupid and childish, the kind of thing you expect from 12 year olds, pathetic.

    Just my opinion Lee, I just think its hypnotic, and usually pretty uneventful. I wouldnt know about this season as I aint watched it for years, for pretty much the same reasons.

    Each to their own I agree, but for me its up there with watching paint dry.
