F1 blows. Qualify on the front row, beat the other guy into turn one, and you get to lead the parade all day long. Unless someone screws up in the pits, the damned race is decided ten minutes into it. Save the other 3:50 of your life and go to dinner and a movie.

It is not decided in 10 minutes at all. Its just that the 2 best racers are now on the same team, because Schumaccer retired

All they do is go round an oval track, and they cant even do that right, most of them crash.

Because there are 43 of them sharing a track in cars shaped like flying bricks. It's supposed to be hard. The hard is what makes it great.
And they don't just drive ovals, either. They'll be on a road course next week. And it'll be ten times better than any F1 road race. F1 is all negotiating turns 30 feet apart, meaning nowhere to pass. It's a parade. If you so much as tap another car, you're done for the day, so you get none of the "rubbin is racin" you get in Nascar.
Boring. If I wanted to watch a parade, I'd at least want some baton twirlers in the deal.

There is quite a lot of overtaking in F1

Just no passing.
The first race of the F1 series, the Australian GP, saw all of THREE lap leaders, with the bottom two combining to lead a mere 6 laps. The first race of Nascar's Nextel Cup Series, the Daytona 500, saw 14 lead changes among 10 different drivers.
The Daytona 500 saw 27 cars finish in a close bunch on the lead lap. The Australian GP saw a terrible finish with the leader 7 seconds ahead of the only 5 cars remaining on the lead lap.
