I ask this question because Formula One as I know it today seems more on the up and up, and more gentlemanly (politics notwithstanding) than some other sports. I see many other sports get into some mad physical brawls and melees (and sometimes encourage fighting) and it bores me.

The “brawls” between drivers in F1 seem more gentlemanly, and tend to be fought on the track, with no fisticuffs later on. Ala Fernando and Massa, who fought on the track, verbally sparred in the post-race room, but never took it to fisticuffs.
What do you think?

there have been a few ‘incidents’ of drivers throwing a punch or two
I think in this one if Jacques had been out of the car he would have been hit for sure
this one did come to blows=
and this one shows that not all fights are serious=
I can’t think of one particular thing that drew me to F1. its a combination of lots of things, i just love it. also i must add i have never ever seen any F1 fans fighting like rival football fans do.
TGBF Mika and Eddie, although Eddie is not in shot.

The interesting races. There are less overtaking moves on track nowadays but F1 has always been interesting and cool.
