How can someone in the sport be so clueless about it. F1 has always been about the constructors and teams, not drivers. The money is paid to the team's under the WCC, the WDC pays nothing. The history of the sport included drivers moving from team to team like contractors. Not one F1 team has been formed by a driver, with but one exception in Burney, for a brief moment. All other drivers are hired guns, recruited by teams.  F1 can be as much about teams first as any other. Football, soccer, baseball, hockey, volleyball... all entertainments. Yeah, drivers are stars, like quarterbacks, centers, et al.., does not make the sport all about drivers. In fact, the only way to change the sport to driver centered racing is to go to spec racer cars, all exactly the same. That's not F1 at all. As far as road relevance... who is he kidding. Every new superstar is a hybrid. Most top level brands are moving rapidly to hybrids. The UK is moving to end ICE technology, Germany has expressed similar sentiment. Engines are getting smaller, with forced induction, assisted my electric motors, from pickup truck and SUVs to lux touring cars. They have Austin Martin convinced that ICE technology has life in it, to introduce an obsolete super car in 3 years wit no hybrid components at all.... in a market, that by then will be 100% dominated by super fast hybrids. He is wrong on so many fronts, he's on the edge of sounding completely out of touch.

Okay... I'm gonna just say it and I'm not a hater but B. Smith doesn't deserve to be in Motogp..period.  He should be a commentator bcoz he is good talking and his insights are always good. He can talk and knows what to do but just cannot do it with his limited talent on the bike.
