Definitely not the same sport anymore. Probably why I'd sooner watch a bike GP or SBK race than F1 - although I'd sooner watch F1 than just about anything else.
Yes the bikes have electronics but it's just more pure - although then there's CRT.....
I think something has been lost in the oh-so-worthy chase of greenness. I don't really care if an engine / gearbox lasts 1 race or 10 - it isn't going to make me buy a Prius or anything. Would far rather see, say, Force India looking for an extra ounce of performance and to heck with needing to recycle parts next race.
