I'll guarantee one thing - all of the big players have already considered this and are formulating plans to deal with it. F1 and other forms of car racing may not be a large part of those plans.
F1 may well come to an end, or at least be very different. But car racing in general, I don't think will change that much. Most car racing goes on with little direct support from the manufacturers. As has been observed in the past, the horse as a form of transport is ancient history, but horse racing is still a big deal.
