Do you still consider F1 racing to be a sport?

Most top sport these days is really about money. F1 has just taken it to the extreme.\n\nIf you have ever been to an F1 race the atmosphere is electric.\n\nSome say that there is no physical effort involved however the physical fitness needed to drive an F1 car under race conditions for 2 hours is huge.\n\nOn balance I think it's a sport but I can see why other may disagree. \n\nEach to their own I say.

Drifting is not racing.  If it was you would see F-1 drivers doing it.  It is fun but it is not racing.\n\nHey fatrick-  Get a life.  The point of racing is to get where you are going as fast as possible.  When you don't have traction you are not going as fast as possible.  It is simple mechanics.  Drifting is showboating and as previously stated fun to watch but at its core it is not racing.

1)  YES, definatly a sport....\n2)  Dale Earnhardt Jr, because of the way he is off and on track. Considerate, giving and not bad to look at either!\n3) CHEVY..best cars ever made\n4) Let toyota be in the cup and see what it has to offer against the best cars going today..why not. \n5) Don't agree with it, but not up to us to decide...all NASCAR.

F1 is not boring. This seson, if you would have watched it, was the most breathtaking in years. A tooth-and-nail fight to the end of the season for the title. Not that Americane would like to separate from their "racing", that oval nonsense merry-go-round.\nThere shouldn't be allowed more than a race in a country, and the FIa has started axing the races that are in the same country as another race. The European GP(Germany) went first, then the San Marino GP(Italy).\nThe crowd is around 130,000 at Indy.\n\nTo Nascar fans: FORMULA ONE HELPED THE USA PULL THROUGH AFTER THE 9/11 ATTACKS. THE AMERICAN GP WAS THE FIRST MAJOR SPORTING EVENTAFTER THE ATTACKS AND THE RACE, WHICH WAS A THRILLER, WAS HELPED BY A HUGE BANNER IN THE CROWD SAYING: "F1-THANKS FOR COMING!"\n\nThe 2005 clichee was the downside of the American F1 experience. But it was just a nasty one-off. And don't give me stuff like "F1 is boring", "they play follow the leader" and so on. And please don't give me a thumbs-down.

I think most sports are lame and this is one of the worst offenders.  There is a lot of beauty to cars, both internally and externally, but I don't see how stock car racing is exciting at all.  Drive fast and turn left.  Whopdeedo!

No. There is no form of Sport that generates more money than Formula-1. despite the money spent by european clubs on various players, they can't compete with the money that is pumped into technology by F-1 teams. Even the name Formula-1 suggests that it is the supreme form of sport.

motorsport racing is much safer than most people realize.. the cars are all checked to ensure they meet all the required safety rules.. sit back and enjoy the race.. it is very addictive.. you may find yourself behind the wheel someday

four-legged are usually faster than two-legged, so it's F1! ;) both are equally interesting to watch though.

Sports entertainment is different from sports.

It's definitely a sport.  They have the America's Cup, which is like the Super Bowl of football.  You race other competative sailors & work hard at it.  \n\nIf you're just doing it for the fun of it, then it's an activity.  But if you are really into it, like you seem, then it's definetly a sport.

No, sport is a direct competition of fastest, strongest, and other physical activities. Not who can lie the best, not who looks the prettiest as in other sports. Sport should have to be something that you sweat for.

I love racing.  Putting the word after "street" is insulting.\n\nReal racing is hard and winning means something.  Street messing around is easy and winning means nothing.\n\nNot to mention that it's dangerous and has killed innocent bystanders,

Formula one is the most interesting. Its the worlds most watched sport only second to world cup soccer which is once in 4 years.
