I kinda love that Hamilton messed with Rosberg. Rosberg seems to have little humor and tends to believe he's right and anything else is wrong. Good on ya Lewis!

The problem with attracting US fans is one of timing - the bulk of F1 races (with the exception of Canada, Austin, Brazil, Mexico) are live somewhere between midnight and 5 in the morning my time. You can have all the "live scoring apps" and hoopla you want, but I am not getting up at 3 in the morning to watch F1 live. And I am a fan. For a lot of sports fans, the "live" seems to matter.
That is a fundamental problem that I don't see any way to solve.
It doesn't bother me to watch F1 on a recording as I am pretty careful to avoid reading spoilers about the outcome and I generally watch the same day at least - although it DOES annoy the heck out out of me when the broadcast gets shifted in the wee hours of the morning when I can't adjust the timing of the recording.
But maybe races where somebody actually passes another driver.
You can keep F1 just like you favor soccer over real football. Both suck.
I think (American) Football will die out in 60-70 years time and be replaced by soccer. It has all to do with a change in demographics. NASCAR are for old hillbillies, btw
NASCAR:
50 % of the regular viewers are over 55
9 % of the regular viewers are under 35

You are partly correct, NASCAR is for old guys who still love the sound of N/A V-8 engines which most young drivers are unfamiliar with. That's where today's F1 fans come from.
NASCAR is approaching the same downside that F1 already has. Only billionaire owners can win championships.
Yes in 60-70 years Brady may have to retire so yes American football may die out.
What do you mean? The German Grand Prix (Hockenheim) is still on the schedule for 2017.

), anyway motorsports in general are dying out. Car culture is dying out. I'd bet F1 demographics aren't much different.
