Thrive to Survive
So, if F1 is quite boring as a live sport - why are people interested? Where can you go get your fix?
One the former, I don’t have any answers - maybe it is the drama. Given the rise of reality TV and accessibility it brings might explain some of it. I haven’t a clue.
But I would hazard that most of these fans will eventually leave - you cannot manufacture drama in something that is not based on generating drama. If F1 makes that pivot, I am out.
One the latter question, there is definitely good news.
So many race series around the world are thriving and offer excitement - we are spoilt for choice.
I would proffer World Endurance Championship (WEC) and NASCAR as the leading contenders.
What makes WEC exciting - traffic. I kid you not. Multiple categories competing at the same time on the same track at different speeds. Traffic is exciting.
And NASCAR - well - it’s the drafting and the crashing and the fighting and the crashing and the burning and the crashing. YeeHawwwwwwwww!
And if that is not enough to give you your adrenaline fix - try these: Motogp, World Rally Championship, Indycar, Touring cars (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM), Japanese SuperGT) and the various junior Formula series - F2, F3, Formula Renault etc.

Excellence
If there is one word that describe us humans, that word is mediocre. Most of us are mediocre at almost everything we do. I am a mediocre cook, employee, student, cricketer, friend, husband, and father. By now, you must have noticed, my writing is mediocre too.
Never go full glam.
If you are younger or more musically discriminating or just uninterested in anything 80’s, you wouldn’t have heard of this term called glam metal.
