Formula One, The Death, of a Sport

I have been an avid fan of Formula one Racing for quite a few years, (Decades).  Senna was my First F1 Hero, even though in my youth Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart was the men to be in awe of. I watched as Schumacher won his first Championship with Benetton,  Hill and Villeneuve with Williams., Hakkinen with Mclaren, the the Schumacher Ferrari Dynasty, then Alonso, Button, Kimi, Hamiliton, and Vettle.
          I have seen the introduction of the Safety Car as a regular feature on the track, before that, it was local yellow flags instead of Full course yellows.
           No more were there Titanic battles where an excellent driver could fight off another driver in a Superior car. Monaco, where both Mansell and Senna were exhausted at the end of the race.  I watched the introduction of more and more Gimmicks and Gadgets to make it easier to pass, if the driver and car were ahead of you, push a button, for a horsepower boost, hit another to reduce drag.
 I watched the Point system change because one man and one team made the sport their own through Superior engineering, design and driving, the new system kept others in the title fight in the name of keeping the public interested.

What was once a sport with the Greatest drivers and best cars in the world has been regulated to a lesser Formula. There is Nothing left of what once was great, except a couple courses left over from by-gone days, Spa, Monaco, Silverstone and Monza and even those tracks have been changed. Most of the other tracks are now cookie cutouts of oversized Carting tracks. There is no Majesty, no magic, no aura from the past. I've watched the drivers get younger and younger, where once the finest drivers in the world competed, now it became a sport of the Video game driver, just like the games of Playstation and X-Box with little kids with fast reflexes, the new driverscome straight in from Go Carts.

Formula One today, starting right now in Australia 2014, is over for it has lost it's only remaining redeeming quality.   

        Through it all since the engines moved to the back of the cars there always one thing was constant, the Wail.  Formula one cars had a Banchee wail with the V-12s, then V-10s followed by V-8s. But now even that is gone and with it a Race format. 

There is nothing left to grab your sole and hold it.
