I collect Formula 1 cards, and racing cards in general. Formula 1 has always been a series without much passing and is almost always dominated by one or two teams. F1 is a technology/money driven series where the best car almost always wins. F1 is a series of ungodly sums of money and drivers that are largely aloof/arrogant compared to the more fan friendly drivers of NASCAR (or even IndyCar). All of those are the reasons why F1 has never really caught on in the United States relative to the rest of the world.
The phenomenon of the dominant driver/team definitely has definitely gotten worse in F1 over the past 30 years. Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and now Max Verstappen have all enjoyed periods of dominance in which they were nearly unbeatable over the past 30 years. In the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, F1 was a lot more competitive than what it is now.
