Honestly F1 is rather boring most of the time for "common folks" unless you're an F1 nerd and enjoy the chess being played, and I'm hoping the sport will collapse back to it's normal attendance with less races, on traditional circuits! It's grown way too much of late in a strange "entertainment vs sport" direction. Most of the new circuits are terrible and now they're even talking of castrating Spa by cutting off Eau rouge !!! it's not heading in the right direction, for me anyway.

I think most of the 'celebs', especially athletes from the US are there to see Hamilton; ditto for many of the Euros in attendance. They only know of the sport due to that relationship. Once he retires, I'm thinking (hoping) they will all disappear back to where they came from.
Yesterday I watched
Stewart which ESPN aired after the Hungarian GP. Great film and really takes you back to when fans watched F1 at the traditional circuits. The only thing watching it on ESPN was they blurred the topless women at the beach and for some reason blurred Francois Cevert's crotch when he was in his fireproof underwear.
