Have you watched MotoGP? It sounds like you would enjoy it more. There are no pit stops. The riders don't have radios. The pit can only communicate using signs on the straightaway. Motorcycles tilt, so aerodynamic downforce is not possible. That means there's no such thing as "dirty air" and drafting is effective. The vehicles are smaller, so passing is frequent. The rider is a significant fraction of the vehicle mass, so winning requires skill in shifting weight, balancing, and feeling the bike. All of these factors make it much more seat-of-the-pants than F1. If you've never seen a MotoGP race before, here's a slightly above-average one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4X4yvTHaRM#t=240 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4X4yvTHaRM#t=240 I'd rather link to a typical example than the best, since I don't want to get your hopes up.
