I, for one, definitely won't be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.

Motorsport is absolutely a sport. It's not just the driver either. Just like any sport, everybody's got a job to do and the better they work together, the better the outcome. Id call pool a "skill based game". You don't have to be fit to be a top pool player, or darts, or bowling. You're comparing being able to replicate good skill dozens of times over a period of 1-2 hours where motorsport is using your skills constantly over up to 12+ hours depending on the race. Some are over the course of days.
