Did you even read OP? nufans do not care about those things, that's the point being made

F1 did this to itself.

Too many technical restrictions on a supposed "constructor" series combined with on-track action that ends up favoring those who spend more/hire better engineers and an overabundance of rules interfering in the "sporting" aspect reduces it to drivers bickering among each other as the main draw.

many such cases

This is basically every single sport nowadays, you'd have to be retarded not to think otherwise.

The FIA also keeps interjecting itself to create rulings that are in the interest of making the sport more watchable, not to give the drivers more flexibility to demonstrate their talents. They're more concerned about audience engagement than protecting the spirit of the sport.

They should just do fast cars not this stuff
