No, its there...just not in F1. Honestly I don't believe its not because the drivers are unwilling to do whatever it takes. All the top F1 guys will do whatever they can to win. The problem is 100% with the cars due to the rules. Last year it was more fun watching the GP2 series since there was an order of magnitude more passing going on there. GP2 cars are identical dimensions to F1, less power (still a lot!), everyone on F1 Bridgestones, little bitty wings. Cool racing.

That edge of the seat experience is still there in other series, they're just harder to find on or TV. All of the pro sedan classes from somewhere else have it. Ever watch a German/British/Australian Supercar race? Those are wicked.
