Wheels24 reader Eric Kasper Van Wyk compares Formula 1 in the 1990s to its current state in 2014 and believes the sport has lost its appeal:
I was a huge fan of F1 in the 1990s and up until about three or four years ago, it just doesn't appeal to me any longer.
I struggle to see the passion the sport once had. Hopefully things will change. People saying that it's not about the sound and it's a strategic game like chess.
'COULDN'T SIT THROUGH IT'
If you made that statement 15 years ago you would've been laughed at.
I watched the World Rally championship before watching World Superbikes and was quite pleased with the entertainment. I watched the F1 right after and couldn't get myself to sit through it.
I understand the rules and regulations regarding Formula 1, but at the end of the day you have to ask yourself how a sport with such a huge budget a can be so boring it, just doesn't add up.
I will enjoy my WSBK, Australian V8 super cars, WRC and German Touring Car Masters. For now I truly do hope F1 returns to its former glory.
