They are at the top of the game, and second to jet fighter pilots, they are the navigators of the fastest moving pieces of technology developed in the modern world.
They are F1 drivers. And with F1 comes the quantum leaps in technology, motor vehicles that move like rockets and closely resemble the cockpit of a jet fighter plane.
And most notably, very VERY deep pockets for some teams. But, where does it end? How much faster can these cars get? The presumption is, they can get faster, much faster but at what cost? And not the dollars and cents investment, but rather the human cost. When does it become no longer possible for an F1 car to be driven by a human?
It seems these boundaries are being pushed more and more with each passing F1 season, and because of this, could we potentially witness the sport evolve to a point where it is a sport not fought out by humans?
Could the future of F1 be its own undoing and just becoming too done?
