I've learned to appreciate F1 and IndyCar both for what they are. One is largely an engineering competition with mostly world-class drivers and one is largely a spec series (with some deviations allowed, e.g., dampers). I enjoy both. Both have similar hang-ups, like DRS/P2P masquerading as actual overtaking, fuel/tire save competitions, etc. Both have gatekeeping fans. IndyCar marketing is abysmal and the car is ancient by today's standards.
Personally I enjoy sportscar racing over both of these; the access and value for the money you get is fantastic and neither IndyCar and certainly F1 do not compare favorably with it. BOP keeps things relatively close.
We should appreciate what we have now, because who knows what will happen in the next decade or two.
