First off, I think you have some issues in labeling ppl, u are almost implying that if you don't hate the F1, you must be a Fanboy. I don't think that's polite.
A person could
- feel respect for the F1
- has F1 is one of the list of cars they like
- has F1 cameout on top of the list of cars they like
- thinks F1 is OK
- thinks F1 is inferior to the cars of same period
- simply hate the F1 and fail to see any qualities of F1 that surpass other super cars of the same period
...etc
For me, I respect the F1 for its speed, ground breaking center driving position design, chassis design, advance electronics (remote diagnostics), use of NA engine instead of Turbo charged alternative (F40 EB110 XJ220 ..)

the car is definately not deserving, anymore then any other exotic. It simply doesn't belong on a pedistal; as people will get let down by its performance if/when they ever actually get in contact with it, drive it, ride in it etc.

You sounded like you know many Macca owners, and also driven the car to a point where you find all the flaws.
