Whizz bang phut

Finally, someone takes notice of the nonsense that is Formula One racing. At 50 tonnes of Co2 per driver this has to be the greatest sporting folly of this age. Each driver is flown nearly 100,000 miles a year just to whizz round 17 different tracks a hundred times each. The questions should be how long can this go on, and why is anyone attracted to a bunch of cars going round and round for no apparent reason? The madness has to end somewhere, and hell, it might as well be here.
