A football team does not have a fraction of its players qualified to participate in a championship. There is no podium. The goalie is doing a completely different job from the striker.

There are team races, eg rowing, where one person cannot win and the other lose.

From what I see, F1 and other races are individual races! It just happens that individuals belong to the same organization, and therefore the organization forces some logistics shenanigans that go against the sport.
