The westerners still dominate the Formula 1 car racing. The drivers are westerners, the engines and super cars are westerners. Asians and Africans are still lagging very far behind in man and machine. Oops, some Afro Americans may be admitted after a few generations in the West and being accepted as one of them. The Japanese tried but have since disappeared and not competing. The Chinese are trying to make an entry with their supercars, the EVs. The ICE version of Formula 1 is beyond the reach of the Chinese, maybe the Japanese could play with them.
Other than machines, the man factor includes a lot of skills and experience in handling such powerful machines. And you need a lot of guts, to gamble with your lives to want to win the race, putting aside the possibilities of race fixing. It is all skills and guts and machines...and brawn.
The next Super Race is not about Formula 1 super cars, not about EV super cars. The Super Race of the future is about driving insane machines like super computers and maybe sci fi spacecraft. In these races, the Chinese stand a good chance of racing their super computers and sci fi spacecraft that not only require super machines, but super men of a different kind, different skill sets, nimble fingers, and super brains, not brawns. The winner does not need to pitch his life to win.
The Super Race of the future is not the race for the cowboys and gunslingers. It is a race for the STEM nerds. And no one would be laughing at them as their prowess is in the super computers, sci fi spaceships that need super brains to drive or fly them. China's army of STEM graduates would be hard to beat. The financial wizards or smooth talking lawyers would not come close, would not find a slot for these races.
The future is all about high tech, super computers, AIs, quantum technology and many advanced science and technology. And no fake degrees will do. No more such things as any fake can come in and bluff his way through. It will be precise science and engineering stuff that require dedicated investment in time and brain power in learning and acquiring the knowledge, data and science to be able to win the real game with real machines. No more conman, no more con jobs. No more bluffing.
