"anything more than vanity?" Agree .. for the masses who love their shiny toys.
I'd like to see F1 renamed to FX1 :
- the guys get only 100 litres of standard gasoline - the race-track shouldn't be flat, but also hilly - the race should have a maximum time limit , eg. 2 hours - the winner is the guy that drives the longest distance within the time limit
That would then give me a reason to watch what is otherwise just a macho farce!
