How come crashing more often is a plus? I mean isn't about driving anymore? Is like the monster truck shows or what?

I don't like F1 either but even I can see why is more popular and respected.


I'm not saying it's necessarily a plus but it's a by-product of close racing. For some it's the only reason they watch for others like me we watch for the hard racing and if a crash or 10 happen then thats cool too.  The fact is the closer you race the more likely you are going to crash and you don't race in close quarters often in F1.

Yep I watched it. It had a small crowd but they were a hardcore bunch cheering every pass for position. Next year hopefully word gets out and it gets a larger crowd.

If I want to see crashes I'll just watch a compilation on youtube. The races themselves...let's just say I prever actual tracks over ovals...



haven't seen nascar or any oval racing but I m a fan of F1 and track racing. what fascinates me about F1 is team work, strategy and Engineering, Overtakes, crashes are very few and that what makes them special, overtaking on corner keeping ur focus while cornering at high speeds for more than 50 laps.. it is the highest pedigree of high speed racing and adrenaline rush.. and these are just few points
