A true fan may take a liking to a particular team or driver and will be pleased if they do well and feel for them if they do not. They will not become a faceless member of a sycophantic crowd who, if attending a race acts childishly, dressing up, waving flags and booing anyone but their leader if they do well. In short a true fan is mentally independent, fair minded and big enough to acknowledge a good performance by any competitor. In ten years F1 has really gone downhill in sporting terms and the often uninformed hype provided by the media together with the obsessive and neurotic reactions of some so called fans is becoming intolerable, as are the attempts by many in the sport to question others on the flimsiest grounds. Does anyone else see all this as the total ruination of our sport by money and the cult of celebrity? The latter in my opinion something that only the young and impressionable or downright thick subscribe to.
