BTW, LOTS of people care about football, real football in the USoA.
MLS has the third highest per game attendance of any American sports league. English Premier League ratings are rapidly increasing on NBCSN.
If you haven't been to an International game or competition, let me recommend you should.

This is one of those times that I must say "
I disagree". Hope I don't rile the natives with that statement
I'm pretty sure there is a bit of difference between Indy and NASCAR.
The biggest difference being, one of them goes fast and turns left most the time.
(what two road tracks in NASCAR?)
As for "soccer", never cared for it since like I was 10.
It's origins involved contact with the ball using hands.
Football as we know it, with contact and use of hands evolved
as did several other contact sports (rugby) at the same time that "soccer" went the other way and put rules in place to eliminate the use of hands.
Soccer is to Football what badminton is to tennis.
It was when the British got hold of the game that hands
were disallowed. Can't cotton to any game where you can't use
your hands. That's be like having an F1 rule that says you can't use
front wheels. (but that could be next in F1)
All in all I see F1 racing as
not only a competition of drivers but of design and ingenuity. I say fine to the new rules not just as a platform for innovation that finds it's way to the consumers but as a challenge to all mankind (big vendors) with a kind of "what would McGyver do" thing.
Evidence shows that electric drive can and does deliver torque better (faster and more controlled) to the wheels. That is really good news for quicker recovery off an apex. The energy recovery systems promise to not only be more efficient but FASTER
overall.
