They will necessarily need to row back (unlearn if you will) on all the technology and/or make it all much less complicated. They will need to attract smaller independent teams because the majors will be out of it.

You are absolutely right. It 's just a tragedy that it takes a pandemic to put into focus how absurd it is to blow half a billion quid to enable 2 drivers to race 20 times a year . All racing , ultimately, can be boiled down to its essence of driver A trying to overtake driver B . Stuff like DRS , trick PUs , pit stop strategies and tyre management are incidental distractions , and simpler cars , and races can be every bit as good .
