And have promotion and relegation like European football leagues.
It's an overinflated economy. It's too hard to cherry pick specific features of the past and think its suitable now.

Interesting idea. How would it work? Currently F1 can only muster ten teams so having additional divisions seems a stretch too far. But maybe with customer teams? Or would that be too expensive anyway. And when one got promoted would it then have to start building it’s own car or can it still use customer? Or is the mix of customer and constructor across the divisions?
