Just end it - incredible waste of resources (no I'm a treehugger by any means..., just seems like a retarded "sport")

I agree. There's just too many regulations in it to be even called a sport anymore.

Racing street legal cars without any modifications excites me in places ....

Rallying, or touring car racing is much more fun to watch, and at least the cars bear some resemblance to street cars. Many of the modifications and safety features used also filter down to regular users, while F-1 technology is too esoteric.

Should be called Y-1 (as in Yawn 1).

F1 is the tip of the spear, at the leading edge of engineering in the auto industry, which it is part of. It's not merely a sport but an R&D tests bed for the industry as a whole. Long may it continue....

We get excellent crowds to it in Melbourne for the first race of the year, and they should increase this year with very low cost tickets for kids. The problem with Formula 1 is is it seems to be a big drag on the economy of the cities that hold it. If the operator could do something really clever and find a way of making each Grand Prix host profitable and the prices more affordable, it would be a smart move, in fact cutting edge or world's best practice or something! I went to one once, most of the cars wiped out on the first bend, just in front of me. There was a few big bangs - I reckon it was the start of global warming.

...and yet F1 races are considered to have the highest world-wide audience figures of any regular sporting event. As Rich said, manufacturers value it for its R&D value.
