You're watching them wrong. On the surface I get it, I fall asleep sometimes too. But the fundamentals are all there and if you really pay attention you can enjoy it just as much as a road course.

Close your eyes and its basically the same thing, speed up, slow down, turn, repeat.

Chassis set up and lines are key. But that's the same on a road course. F1 is just a procession nowadays. Most of the key passes are made in pit strategy.

Both avenues are suffering dramatically from technology taking the driver out of the equation. I long for the days when a driver could drive the wheels off a car and put a 5th place car in victory lane.
