Formula one is 100 percent a sport and I can argue that it is one of the hardest sports to enter and compete in. First of all, unlike alot of sports where alot of muscles are used at once Formula 1 cars rely on your neck muscles to even manage to handle an F1 car. F1 drivers handle around 3-5gs each corner and more during a crash, in Max verstappens silverstone crash during 2021 he pulled 51GS. To put all this in perspective, 3-5gs means your neck is at least 28-38kg and you need to sustain that for t least an hour or two. Imagine a crash now, in F1 the incentive is life or death no inbetweens. Max verstappens crash at silverstone despite all the safety regulations in the car he still suffered a concussion and was forced to race the rest of the 2021 season with blurred vision.

Well it is true that Formula 1 is also largely engineering and winning a WDC requires a good car and team, but the same could also be said for most other sports. In the priemr league, it is usually dominated by teams such as Man City and Arsenal and what do they have in common? Money and better players, In formula 1s case its good engineers. And to be hoenst your arguement doesnt really make much sense to the athletic side, it doesnt disprove the fact that Formula 1 drivers need to sustain 3-5 gs each corner and any crash could result in death or catastrophic injuries.

Keyword: Gut feeling. This is pure ignorance, your not even listening to what im saying. Going by your logic then most sports should turn you off since it requires a good team. the primier league has been domianted by the same teams years in a row because they have better faclities, bettr playesr and etc all because of money same as Formula 1.
