Plus, like the EPL, you have the "have" and "have not" teams and if you don't "have" enough money, you aren't in it. Obviously take an interest in the sport, especially with such a likable bloke as Ricciardo in the game.
The V8 Supercars would be my preferred and most watched form of motor racing, with the GP bikes right up there with them.

Can't disagree with that too much. Used to love the V8s but in my opinion seems to have gone down the slightly sanitized path, plus the transfer to pay tv.
Personally, can't beat a warm summers night at the skids getting filthy, breathing in methanol & watching 410s.

I am probably the opposite to this, F1s is the only form of racing i really take an interest in. Probably because of my engineering background, I love the technology aspect of it and how far they can push the performance of the cars. The racing does get pretty boring on occasion though so I certainly see people's point

I appreciate the "cars" for what they are, remarkable pieces of engineering. The problem I have with the series is the constant shuffling of rules, specifications etc that endeavor to keep the format as even as possible. It doesn't work. The rich just engineer closer to the line than the not so rich and ultimately there's only Mercedes, Renault or Ferrari are the only championship winners.
Here's a pop quiz, without Googling, when was the last time one of the above 3 manufacturers did not win the F1 drivers championship?
