Here's my theory...
You can't see the whole track at the same time and Americans are too lazy to walk around.
The cars don't go 0-85 in 2.1 seconds. They're built for elegance, finese and grace -- not brute force.
F-1 cars turn right as well as left. It confuses some North American people.
Most Americans have lost the high frequency response in their ears due to rock and roll music, and the high pitched F-1 engines don't sound as loud.
Some of the races actually employ real teamwork among the marques.
A lot of the drivers don't speak English very well. On the other hand, I guess it's the same in NASCAR.
Americans seldom win.
(I used to love to go to the US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, NY. I can't imagine it being run anywhere else. Talk about parties -- boy, could I tell stories...Of course then there's Road America, Road Atlanta, Mid-Ohio, Bridgehampton and lots of other places where we could drive to in a weekend...)
