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:
