A 1.6litre V6 with 780 horsepower is not really useful for anything but F1. The only somewhat modern streetcars I know with F1 inspired engines where the ferrati F50 and the Carrera GT. The last F1 driver died in 2014 and the one before that in 1994. So there is actually a grey area. In which cars got faster and safer at the same time. But since we are talking about safety how about we are going to forbid climbing mountains, plenty of people die each year trying to climb mount everest. F1 drivers where never forced back in the day and understood the risks. Sure it's better when no one dies, but since the 90''s those chances are already very slim.
As for the fastest lap times until the season of 2017

Quite a few of those records are still standing. Modern (pro 2010) F1 cars or better said only the F1 2017 cars thanks to bigger tires and more downforce are better suited at more technical tracks.
The record for Monza belongs to barichello and is almost 2 seconds faster than the F1 time in 2005. Which had way more horsepower and still no deaths. Difference is back in those days the F1 car was pretty much the fastest thing on 4 wheels a team could make. The F1 cars since 2010 could all be much faster if they weren't so restricted by regulations.

We should get rid of police and military since they can die in service ¬..¬"

Those are kind of necessary to preserve some sort of order to the world though. The world can easily let go of extreme sports and activities like climbing mountains. The question is do we want that. As long as people understand the risk of what they are doing, let them do it as long as they don't risk the life of people who got nothing to do with that activity.
