Isn't that an oxymoron? Or does "best" here mean the driver/team?

Balance of performance means the BEST engine+car almost never wins.

I think it is a sport, but it is just more driven by non-human elements and then also politcs are an inherited part of it. Motor racing isn't the only sport either where equipment matters... skiing, horse racing, sailing etc.
