In light of the outrageous events at the Belgian GP it is obvious that F1 is, without doubt,anything but a sport and on that note I officially declare a total lack of interest in it from now onwards.

If an umpire is required to interpret the rules of a game and decide if a score is valid then it's still a sport. It is where the judge solely determines the outcome of the event where they fail. Perhaps I should revise my definition to say "where a judge is required to solely produce a score that decides who wins it isn't a sport". Will that do? Au contraire.

Secondly I would then question weather a referee - is in fact a judge. I do not think the theory holds up very well.
