    Not necessarily a downside depending on the larger.

    Mixing generations but picture him chasing Eddy Jordan around the paddock.

    Eddy's ability to mock would make that worth the price of admission.

    Well,
    I do not know where Formula 1 is heading.
    I do not know where motorsports in the USA or the
    rest of the world is heading.
    It sure seems that some major decisions will need
    to be made in the next years.
    Oh, so many major decision points.

    But to somewhat touch XYXPDQ's point:
    Motorsports started as a small sport, but
    the original developers did realize that
    doing well at racing, did improve sales of
    their cars that did well.
    And also some parts and suppliers got in the
    act, so auto racing became advertising as well
    as a sport and technology improvement demonstration.
    It was seen by many as a 'sport' for gentlemen that
    had a code of behavior, and no contact was allowed.

    Many of the biggest players sent their best
    engineers to the racing side to push new improvements
    and sharpen their skills.

    Lately it has become seriously big business as
    an form of entertainment.

    Meanwhile, over in the USA, in NASCAR, gradually
    more 'rubbin is racin' became allowed.

    By the way, how many times in 2021 did Hamilton's
    car and Verstappen's car make contact with each other?

    I'm pretty sure that Jim Clark and Graham Hill never
    made contact.

    I read:

    Several automakers have already confessed to having stopped
