Irrespective of the farce that was last year's U.S. Grand Prix, modern F1 will only ever be a quirky curiosity to mainstream America.
As an advertisement for motor racing, as a spectacle, F1 is pathetic.
As a showcase for technology and rampaging egos, it's without peer, but you have to be a hardcore fan to better appreciate the nuances of the sport.
I'm surprised that more than 10,000 people attend the U.S. Grand Prix each year. The events' organisers must do a lot of spruiking ... and bribing.
