They are determined to block Andretti/GM no matter what it takes.

Joe has said this in his blog so there are some legs on it but no one actually knows what will be in the final accord because it's all talk and not yet in print.

Trying to claim equivalency is not likely to go anywhere with Indy NXT being at the level of a regional formula rather than F2.

but either way there seems to be a strong swing in motorsport generally leading to some very fixed pathways and procedures being made fixed steps in all single seater racing.
It's a long way already from the free world open-ended style of competition we had thirty or forty years ago.

By 2030 or earlier I think F1 will simply be a form of public entertainment, a series of 'events' run around the glop under the title of F1 (or maybe abandon the FIA and simply call it Grand Prix) where a group of select people run teams for the event and it is televised to people living in cities around the globe as one of a selection of events run from a central administration to entertain the masses.
That might be six years or more away but it is entirely consistent with the agenda toward sustainability, so watch where the world goes to from here.

That’s an interesting future…maybe even add an element with the top teams ultimately meeting up for some sort champions league set of race to cap off the season?

Would be different for sure but an intriguing idea. The commercial benefits are clearly there.

There is already something similar, not in racing cars, but in what used to be the Red Bull sponsored "racing" planes that performs around the world.
