Ever since the Septics took over it's been downhill. All the good officials leaving, the maniac in charge out of control, American races hopeless, General Motors in ridiculous, they belong in races that go in circles. Iv'e had enough. Then there;'s the Ultimate "Flat Track Bully " Hamilton, bailing out of the Team that gave him the best car for 7 World Championships the first time they fail to do so. What a hero. He couldn't win a chook raffle in a car that wasn't the best.Money ruins sport, especially when aligned with American ideas of what sport is, never more obvious than in Formula 1.
If you want close, exciting racing that'e not just a visual spectacle, I'd recommend Indycar, but given your apparent aversion to all things American, you might want to give it a miss.
