... But I love all of that.

Can't we just let one motorsport series stand as it has always been, unfair, unequal, unremittingly cruel, and completely merciless?

Agreed - F1 needs to be out-and-out competition to keep my interest. F3 cars that just have more powerful engines and larger tyres don't attract me.
I was encouraged by Chase Carey's response to a question about making it easier for new teams to get onboard - he said that their priority was drivability and quality rather than quantity.

However, I personally think that F1 is dinosauric and heading for extinction on several levels - cost, relevance, environment, brand-dilution and access.
