Heidfeld? He had his fair chance...
Decades ago, when there were 26+ entries for an F1 race, the FIA worked out that a 26 car field was the optimun number. There's nothing wrong with the really weak teams participating, leave them alone.
You state it like it's bad thing.
What detriment? It wouldn't exist if it weren't a European series. Asian countries, excluding Japan, don't have a serious motorsport culture. Therefore, the "F1 culture" would break down. There's no point in F1 expanding, it's already the highest level of motorsport.
Not that we're arguing, but it has been a "true world series", for about 62 and a bit years.
Outside of Japan, there is no passion for motorsport in Asia, or there is a lower interest. There are bandwagon countries (Malaysia, India, Singapore, Korea, China), but nothing fair dinkum. Better for F1 to be primarily in Europe, it keeps it's integrity that way.
This is an interesting interpretation. It comes across as though F1 was just another series that gravitated to the top through means other than that it is the highest level the FIA offers. Regardless of anything, it's always going to the the pinnacle of all motorsport, not just open wheelers. (with the possible exception, in the future, of the WRC or cross-country rallying)
If F1 expands to Asia, while the money generated in Europe and the amount of races there recedes, it's not really an expansion. All it means is that the "F1 economy" has moved to Asia. Not a good thing necessarily, because the general lack of interest in motorsport compared to Europe. Not that we're arguing

Australian F3 has 12 cars, even less! Do you like that? Better to have too many cars than too few. Don't listen to Daryl Beattie.
You don't just rock up to Minardi. They have to want you too. You just get in any way you can, I suppose.
In principle, I agree with you. What has happened though, is that the teams, particularly the leading ones, have changed their criterion when choosing a driver. Previously, a driver would have to have a lot of experience in car racing to get a contract with a leading team. Nowadays, the leading teams are actively looking at boys who've yet to go through puberty before trying them out and a prepared to take them on, for whatver reason. Years ago, making your debut seaosn in F1 at 25 was considered early or a young age to do so. Now, you're considered old!
Wow, I wasn't even trying to troll you. That being the case, Drag racing is a 2 car race, how about that??
The class shouldn't exist as a National championship.
