Driving an F1 car is fun in the same way that cycling in the Tour de France is fun. Everything about that experience is purely for function and competition.
I think Louis Hamilton has a lot more fun in his Ferrari F40 than in his F1 car.
"Directly" does not describe how modern steering wheels are connected to the road. Steer by wire could be fun or not fun depending on how it is implemented. Of course for this car fun is the priority.
