In a way, the move of F1 to fewer and fewer democracies is making the whole thing pretty decadent, (a word I almost never use). I grew up in the era of more Euro races, which of course have declined due to affordability.

So, additional to the massive hosting fees, small teams are going bust and drivers never really meet the public, sealed off in the Paddock Club, a Not encouraging in terms of my ongoing interest.
