The Formula of Watching The One Formula

I don't get what the fuss is all about with F1.

I was here in a bar in Singapore, watching my kinda first but not really first F1 with Alberto. You see nothing but cars, hear nothing but noise. The only reason of my presence was because of the long awaited Roland Garros final between Federer and Soderling.

I stared directly at the screen for 5 minutes and yet, I don't really get what's so interesting about it.

Why the hell are people so into F1??! That's what I asked Alberto. He asked me back why I am so into tennis.

Duh, tennis and F1 are very different, for instance, you actually see people hitting the ball but who do you see in a circuit? Lot of oh-whose-car-is-it-again and those racing drivers look very much like power rangers to me!

I feel like an idiot watching F1, you don't know who's in the car, you don't know what happen and also, you're telling me you are able to hear the commentary with those noise?

Basically, you're also watching the cars through smoke, like a Hollywood-blockbuster-Steven-Seagal movie!

Who has the patience watching those weird-looking cars driving by one by one for 90 minutes??!

Like I said, all you see are cars overtaking one another and cars refueling somewhere. I mean, those people who like F1 so much, why don't they just go to a highway or a petrol station??

... and yet, people were so happy and proud spending a fortune going to watch the F1 race LIVE, ooh, even more exciting isn't it?

I wonder what kinda "whole new experience" it is watching power rangers drive.
