I never liked F1. As for me it was just (very cool looking) fast cars doing laps.

Untill I got to enjoy it with a real enthousiast. During races he explains stuff like drs, strategies on tire changes and a lot of other intricacies that determine the outcome of the races. In the end it is a competition between constructors that culminates on the track. It really changed my perspective on the sport. I now regularly join my buddy in watching qualifications and races. I had no idea.

So this statement seems to make sense.
