I like to watch, too. Its much more fun. I like endurance 24h, like le mans, sebring, etc. Seeing all the other cars, all the technology in play. It blows my mind when you see cars start together then 24 hours later they are one seconds apart, if that, by the end of the race. AMAZING.
That and the now 2 second pit stop for f1... holy shit. 4 tires, 2 seconds or less... I think the record is like 1.7. Thats so insane. Its like a dance. I saw this video where they put heart monitors on the pit crews. They were cool as a cucumber when the car was in the pit lane. When it pulled into the box, their heart rates doubled up in an instant and then it was done. High fives all round. Amazing.
Long distance running is HARSH. I have much respect for athletes that do this.
