And what magic Formula would that be that could offer a driver a salary in the region of 15 million $ a year? Indycar runs an entire team on that budget, as does Formula E (Jaguar spent around 12m $ on the 2019 FE season according to Forbes).
The only racing series that comes close is NASCAR, where the top three drivers earn around 15 to 18 million $ a year. Not enough of a difference IMO to see top F1 drivers suddenly want to race tin-tops.
Well that is the picture at this moment in time. What it would be in the future is another matter.
Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

Max Verstappen ‘wowed’ by Mercedes ‘gold nugget’ in fresh Red Bull exit claim.
“Max would want to put himself in a position where he has the best chance he can to [win].”

Indeed. So good to see a driver and team change a car so much for the better in service.
