no but I believe a lot of that was artificially created by the safety car periods. (not intentionally but still artificial)
Look left I must disagree. F1 didn't seem to lose any fans (at least not on here) because Ferrari did well. Sometimes it helps to have what some people view as the darthteam.
I hate to make the comparison but it seems appropriate in the context of this discussio nto bring up NASCAR. NASCAR is not anything we F1 fans (for the most part) find all that interesting, yet it is an enormous success. The drivers and teams have personalities they aren't robots. The racings close and even if its contrived (restrictor plates) its alot more exciting to watch a race with 100 passes for the lead than 1 if you ask most people in the US (personally I disagree). NASCAR has entertainment which F1 seems to have lost in hospitality sweets closed paddocks and motor homes within arms reach of the garage door
