You mean F1 declined as a sport in the modern safety era(due to more reasons than just that). Go back and watch, listen to Aryton. He knew he would likely die behind the wheel, it was a risk he took. To me there is just no comparing the two, sorry. Except for the track design, I do think less of modern F1 because it is to safe, guess I'm a fool. Just like I think more of Irish Road Racing/Racers and Isle of Man Competitors, than I do of Superbike and GP riders. If I could drive any era F1...

Yes because he slammed into a multi-ton crane head first, at almost race speed. Kind of hard to downplay that. Totally different sport, speed risks and scenarios.You are trying to compare a multi-billion dollar sport were the top teams are valued over a billion dollars and the top two drivers make 100 million a year before all bonuses to MTB... really. They carry their own insurance, pay into a insurance pool and the teams usually insure the drivers as well. It has nothing to do with Bernie/ F1. There is also controversy around Bernie/F1, FIA on a regular basis. Yes...
