Money makes the world go round. And Money is what drives F1.
The tech advancement F1 brings costs a lot but in the long run it makes driving safer.
I mean F1 is not just about the the fastest car in a race. It is also about a driver survival in case it did not go to plan or if Verstappen was trying overtaking you.
Money will come if the races were telecast live for all to see not just Sky or similar paid services.
Many more will watch and this will bring money from globally competitive sponsors.
Then there is the tech itself.
I believe drivers today are more skilled than the ones in 80s or 90s. They may not have the balls of the veterans but that's because F1 has made fast driving safer so people can drive faster with less fear of losing life and limb.
I just wish different techs could compete on same circuit at same time time. V12 Vs V10s Vs V8,V6, hybrid, electric, turbo. Just Like Olympics where a man with no shoes from Tanzania competes with a globally known Nike sponsored athlete.
Drivers selected on merit rather than sponsorship money they can bring.
Extra points for least fuel used, least pit stops, fastest laps, max number of overtakes, and so on. Money no bar, tech no bar.
Then race.
