Yeah, some of them only go to get drunk, act stupid and not for the spectacle. Remember when we were walking to the fair on the Friday night and walked past some drunk-as-hell Sheffield United fans chanting as if they were on the Kop at Bramall Lane? (they were chanting a song that is often sung at Sheffield United matches, and I used to be a fan of them before I walked away from Football, that's how I was able to identify them!) They probably only turned up because of Lewis or Button and nothing else... except maybe the hope of running into some Wednesday fans and starting a big punch-up with them.
But on the whole, F1 fans are a better class of people than Football fans are (and that includes the Prawn Sarnie brigade).
Ewan, I bet that fan was one of the mass exodus of fans from the stands when Hamilton got knocked out in Q1.

F1 fans were more mature until we got Football-style fans claiming to be Hamilton's biggest fan "4EVA"
I'll never forget that clown behind me at Silverstone 2008.
"GODDDDD SAVVEEE THe Queeeeennn" - in a drunken way
Then the woman with him said, "Oh no look Heikki's spun"
and then he said (despite being dressed in full Mclaren team attire) "Ah f*** Heikki who gives a f*** about him? Come on Lewis!" *blow horn blasting*
