Car A takes turn 1 with little to no water on the track and proceeds to turn 2. Car B hits water on turn one and proceeds to the sand trap. That is an explanation, not an excuse.

Vintage drivers aren't paid millions to bring home points finishes that are determined by actions that must be correctly executed with millimetric precision with a literal blink of an eye to determine what that action should be. The point of F1 is to win; the point of vintage racing is to not crash.

What series that runs on tracks where you can't see every turn from a single point has better communication? If that series was caught in pouring rain on dry tires would none of them go off? Whose fault would it be?

Name a series doing more to be more "green." I would say that F1 is "leading" in this regard.

Race cars break. At least the ones that are engineered to the razor's edge in order to be the fastest car on the track.
