I think the issue in that idea is in seeing it as a "flaw" from FM. On the contrary, it's exactly what they planned and wanted to happen. The daily earning limits, combined with the max cap on M$ you can hold at any given time (M$ 4million), It's clear that FM is doing their best to force players into the style of play that they'd prefer, which is to play every day just to keep up, or buy M$ (or R$ & GC) from them with real money.

I think the F1 stuff will be OK in the long run. The prices "seem" reasonable to me considering how much M$ is available to be earned each day. I mean, 7 days of earning M$ (not counting the M$350k initial deposit, but including the event rewards) will get you enough M$ to win each F1 car in the Grand Prix events. Almost no other mid-to-high level car in the game offers a similar trade-off.

Consider if an LTS requires 400-500GC to win the car. Rewards for an LTS like that are often about 75GC, so that leaves about 325-425GC to farm. Ad GC will get you at max 140GC in 7 days (with about 2hrs of nothing but ad watching each day), and level-ups, daily check-ins, and such will add some GC (differs depending on where in the month we are, what level you are at, etc.). You can also play WTTT, OMP, and do some career completion to earn more GC. As you can see though, that's a lot of work to maybe be able to earn enough GC to complete each LTS.

On the other hand, spend ~30min each day farming M$ with the daily race and play through the Grand Prix event and you'll have up to 5 upgraded F1 cars by the end of this release. That's honestly not a bad deal. It does add to my daily play requirements for sure, but not dramatically so.
