I know that this comment was meant to be sarcastic, but the smaller teams on the grid could very well be affected if more races are cancelled. A significant portion of their revenue comes from money that F1 makes from race hosting fees. Williams recently said that they could deal with one, maybe two races being cancelled (mainly because the lost revenue would be offset with less expenditures on travel, shipping, spare parts manufacturing, etc). But any more than that, and they will be affected. I'd argue that only about half the grid wouldn't really be affected by this.
