But most don't.

I can remember back in my karting days (when David Coultard, Dario Franchitti, and Oliver Gavin were all racing against each other in juniors). Most of my mates used to try and make it to at least the British GP. And if we were lucky there was also the European GP also in the UK. And this was because it was more affordable.

But I think it is partly to do with the huge cost of following F1 these days, that we only have two British drivers in F1 now, when we used to average about 4 or 5.

Absolutely!
