The sound of F1 engines is irrelevant. Bernie generates the most money from TV rights, and TV will never convey really the thrills of the sound of F1 engines. F1 is viewership is falling because Bernie realized that having fewer viewers who pay dearly for the sports channels is more profitable than airing F1 on free-to-view channels to significantly more viewers. The explanation of what's going on has nothing to do with the tech of F1 racing, and everything with the economics of modern day sports broadcasting.
