A bicycle requires less maintenance and is easier to build repair and operate than an F1 car. Taken a step further. The complex nature of the F1 car and competitive nature of F1 races gives far greater advantages to secrets which may give the team/car the competitive edge.

I don't like the fact that this is where the graphics industry is and I wish that they would simply compete on hardware and the tech was all open. but I do prefer nvidia on linux to any other GPU because they have the performance I'm looking for. Also their linux drivers are far better than AMD's.
