I remember buying Autosport just to read about a winter shakedown at a snowy Silverstone of a new car. These days every car is unveiled within a two week period and if you paint a Force India in Mercedes colours I won't be able to tell the difference.
The current gen drivers are young and don't have very much to say eg Russell: " “Formula One has been my lifelong ambition and dream so to finally get this opportunity". Lifelong ambition ? You're 19 !
You can go on and on but Autosport is not entirely to blame for the declining interest. F1 is not what it used to be.
