Of course. Blipping the throttle is one of my most favorite things to do in the whole world. I'll try to do everything the hard way, I want to learn driving skills. Driving the car in it's most raw form is still straight forward, it's no harder than driving any other car with a manual gear stick.
F1 is a victim of progress, every part of the process of making an F1 car and driving an F1 car has improved, and there's no way to really undo that. I grew up on 80's and 90's cars too and most people describe that era as watching the red car go around in circles winning everything.
I do think the engineering side of things is almost too good. Those engineers can do almost anything, especially the ones with the budget to do it. I also don't like how the "sport" has been hijacked by big business making it less accessible and locked behind paywalls, but that's happened to every sport.
I don't really know what to do about it, engineers can't forget what's been learned over the years, if big players like Ferrari can't spend their way into better positions they'll probably leave the sport. There's no room for small teams anymore and there's probably no amount of restrictions they can introduce to stop the well funded teams from using their money to tip the balance in their favour.
F1 is still fundamentally what it's always been it's just the modern world has changed everything and there's no going back.
The only thing to do about it as a racing fan is to have other motorsports to watch, cause F1 can't really do anything about where they are now. Youtube is a great place for motorsport, there's loads of smaller series from around the world published on there. And if you don't like how F1 is now make sure they get none of your money, how we spend our money is almost as powerful as how we vote in elections, it's the only sure fire way to get the attention of the multinationals in control of everything these days.
