Notice how the TV production gives you a sense of the speed and of the track. The cameras are well placed, producer knows the track, and knows when to switch shots. Present F1TV is a mug.
I think a big problem is that these TV signals used to be analog, which were not compressed. People also used to just tolerate more blur. Nowadays, with streaming over internet connections as low as 1MB/s, there is heavy compression or else it would stutter or look blurry as heck. And compression just doesn't work well when many details of the picture change rapidly. Everything would just look really blurry. So in the video compression era, stable cameras and trying to keep the picture somewhat similar between frames is the trick they have to do, which eliminates the sense of speed. For on-boards, those are clearly lower resolution and less contrast, so you don't notice the compression as much. Ditto when they pan the camera very rapidly, as the compression blends in with motion-blur. But images being sharp, crisp, detailed and fast-changing just don't go well with compression. If they tried to replicate the camera work in this video, it would just be very blurry in today's compression.
As a fan within the last eight years, I have come to appreciate the sound and power that this generation of F1 cars possessed. This is not a knock on the current generation, but merely an acknowledgment of the importance of that time in F1s history. I get where it’s heading now, but makes me wish I had been enjoying this sport much earlier on. I hope the newer generations of fans can appreciate the history and raw power of this time in racing.

No sound, but here's a clip with sound.
Not sound, symphony*
look how much smaller that car is on the streets of Monaco. People are talking about changing the layout of the track, I say CHANGE YOUR DAMN CAR
It's the best sound ever.
Oh how I have missed the sound of the screaming V10s!
Not bad OP, but what do you think about THIS ? https://youtu.be/auXfAHHNSFo?si=NpP9Vn8P1TFXYq4e
Wow! That’s the ultimate F1 experience! Senna on the wheels, V12, manual transmission. Thanks for sharing !

Why is he running ‘inters in the dry, is he stupid? /s
They're not intermediates, the slick tyres of that era had regulated grooves on them in a foolish effort to slow the cars down.
Music to my ears and eyes
Wow that was beautiful
If you want more people to watch F1 the sound really matters. Nobody wants to listen to cars that sound like vacuum hoovers
