I don’t think its the racing at Monaco as much as its part of the triple header that day. Monaco, Indy 500 and Charlotte 600. It kicks off a full day of racing and we’re all giddy. But the race itself sucks but I like looking at the scenery and yachts.

So from a fan's standpoint, what are the most exciting, must-see tracks/races in F1, and why?
Compare it to the average NASCAR fan. They wouldn't dare miss Dega or Daytona, and I bet many would say the same about Darlington.

Monaco (although the racing is bad, the history and $$$ make it a spectacle)
Spa
Monza
Silverstone
Interlagos
Suzuka
That’s your equivalent to the Talladega, Daytona, Bristol, Darlington, Martinsville of NASCAR

So Spa is the fastest, Monza has the most history, Silverstone is a short track, Interlagos is too tricky to "tame," and Suzuka is an oddly-shaped track that requires precision as well?

I wasn’t directly comparing to the respective nascar tracks, just giving a top 5 or so

Gotcha. 
I'm less than 1 year into F1 fandom and still trying to figure it out. Enjoying the heck out of it tho.

Looks like a possible wet race in Miami. I wonder how that will go. I don’t really like a full wet race. I love a wet/dry or dry/wet race, especially when different strategies with the tires are used.

There's always a chance of rain in Miami in general, I feel like.

I have been watching F1 at Monaco since Niki Lauda won it. That was about 50 years ago. I have seen every race that was broadcasted in the US since then. I want to like it; history, stars, yachts, opulence, pomp and circumstance. Almost with out exception less Olivier Panis, Monaco is a TERRIBLE race. Just look at the qualifying lineup in a few weeks and there is your finish...except for Ferrari who will grenade an engine or arse-up a pit stop and finish way down. It's time the old gal gets put out of her misery, IMO.

Good to hear that even the longest of F1 fans feel like there needs to be a change. The sport is too fun to have races that put you to sleep.

I enjoy Monaco for its technical demands, but shite, that track was outdated by the time F1 became a show in 1950.

Sarg wins. That's one of the coolest racing helmets I've ever seen.
Ocon not far behind.
