Really? Most of the big races started off as commercial enterprises or to showcase the hosts or technology - take Monaco and Le Mans for two. The original Grands Prix - the city to city races - were as fiercely contested by the host cities as the cars.
F1 is not a sport. Never has been, except possibly for a short time in the 50s when the Bulldog spirit was there in the British teams. But they never really succeeded until a commercial genius like Chapman came along and use racing to promote his road cars.
