I think 20 of the world’s best drivers should almost always equal good racing. Something must be wrong if that isn’t true. Change the tracks, the cars, the regulations, the expectations of fans… is this a controversial idea?
Because I get how current F1 can have bad races. It all makes sense when you think about the big picture. The closeness of margins, the tires, the dirty air, safety. But if you step back it starts to feel absurd. If we’re going to believe that these guys are the best then we have to believe that they’re being wasted.
Any series that has independent development and no BoP is going to be uncompetitive at the front. Someone is always going to either spend more money or find a trick that sets them apart from the rest of the field.
Adding a BoP would kill the sport as we know it, and restricting development even more would be bad as well. F1 is the last true open development series. The rest all died for similar reasons.
