It has been too expensive since probably the early nineties really. The expenses have only scaled up since and are no longer augmented with those iconic sponsor packages. Meanwhile nobody is really watching, regardless of the entertainment (which isn’t too bad imo). It is a truly excellent set of circumstances.
As bella says, sharp cost cuts come with mass redundancies. But the other path sees entire teams collapsing, which is even worse.
Perhaps corona virus will ensure everyone has to pull out anyways. Does that offer the chance to start with a totally clean sheet or does everyone just bugger off to other series and we quietly bury this F1 lark?
Summary: dunno lol
