in F1 its absolutly heavily penalized, and the fan base is bigger then all other motorsport champs put together.

There are alot of things to think about though when you make that statement. When you look at the big picture here in America F1 and Soccer are among the least watched sports. Racing in general isn't big here except for Nascar and that is on the decline as well but one of the things that keep people watching Nascar is the fact that the racing is extremely close and there is plenty of contact. It is just a different audience over here.
Another thing to consider is the type of series I mean there is a huge difference between ALMS and F1. You have cars of all different classes bunched up many times on smaller courses here in America. There is really no way to judge between the different series.
