I watch the occasional tennis match, have lost all interest in cricket. But just like in case of movies, people love watching something which gives them the required adrenaline rush - F1 is a glamorous sport, involves a heck lot of money and beauty too if you consider the fashion quotient of the girlfriends and wives of Hamilton, Vettel, Alonso, Massa, Button and the rest. No wonder people get hooked in no time! But I feel it's a monumental waste of resources to build a flawless race track in our country and let the rest of the people drive on potholed roads.
