To watch F1 just to watch it is boring for the average viewer, to root for someone or some team is exciting. Like it or not, NASCAR does a great job with the "show" of the race, NBC can do its part to help F1 with this.

Didn't (doesn't?) SPEED carry a show called "Inside F1" or similar that did just that? IIRC it was mostly produced by the BMW team, but covered others as well. The had segments on the tracks, cars, drivers, and other misc stuff. I don't recall if it was often shown just before the race or qualifying, or durig weeks when there wasn't a race...
