Or if the chance to win was higher, it was more down to the level of overall reliability back then being much worse. So that race results would have been more variable than today. A retirement of a car these days is a notable event!

eating the exact same food day after day after day can also make you sick of it
but say an example, when F1 visits an US circuit , say today it would be impossible for an US driver to have a gig in a race either for a local team to rent some cars or just for the driver buy a seat in an existing team for that event

Why would anyone who was actually trying to win today do any of that? It would be suicide.

for same reason most teams enter today r even if Red Bull wins everything ?
