“I like the rough tracks; I prefer those. But also to the racing issue, tracks that have grass or gravel on the outside, you put this natural limit in and that sorts itself out. I feel that’s also an issue in Formula 1, just the tracks in general.”

I understand his point and don't necessarily disagree about F1 being prima donnas about tracks. Americans and Aussies DGAF what they're racing on. We just want to make the car go vroom, be it on a dirt oval or Grade 1 circuit. It's just that pioneer spirit.

At the same time F1 cars are delicate and expensive. Indy cars are more durable and cheaper to build and repair thanks to it being spec. One series can afford to be a little more reckless. F1 these days is so much more expensive than any other series out there.
