I think F1 could become the next “horse buggy racing” and I am OK with that. I do think the manufacture need to be kicked out and the sport probably needs to shrink a bit. It's size drives the need for big money and big money brings agendas that don't align with what many fans want from a racing perspective. F1 needs more service toward the "sport" side than the "business" side. But that is a topic for another thread!

A bit of the 'hopes' linked to another thread, but my personal preference differs to yours here (which is fine).
I totally appreciate that things are not 100% perfect, and to strive for that is false hope.
But, I would hope that F1 provides a platform where some of the solutions to the climate change problem can be explored and developed. There are many ways in which progress can be achieved as a side effect of another activity, and motorsport is one of those when it comes to delivery of power, motion and aero. By utilising the sport as a testing ground, why not see improvements that can be delivered in other disciplines appear on the F1 track?
