I can't think of any other sport where the participants pay to compete, (even to the extent of paying for each word in their team name), where the venues pay to host the event and hand over the lions share of the takings, where the TV companies world-wide pay to cover the sport, and all this money goes to one gut who seems to think he "owns" the sport. In all other sports, the revenues from TV etc get ploughed back into the sport. Is the sport any better today than it was in the days when people like Chapman used to build the Lotus and Jim Clark won three Grand Prix on the same set of tyres? I'd really like to see the teams go off and run their own series and tell BE to stuff it.
