@SeanVaIen These riders blow any formula 1 'precession' 'doughnut / car-park' racers away in terms of skill and bravery. Formula 1 it only matters who has the fastest car, nothing else.

The world champ one year is a back marker next year just because of the car, you call that proper racing? I call it pathetic, and even worse I call it boring.

You go watch your sad little doughnut racing, and I'll watch real men using real skill competing on closed roads for true glory and proper entertainment.
