A1GP used their own machinery and thought they could rival F1 - no-one can.
The new Ferrari car business didn't help either ...

From memory they said very clearly from the beginning that they were NOT out to rival F1.
I agree with the two car team thing. I always thought they should have ran different drivers in the sprint and feature races (with the result of the sprint deciding the feature) so that it was more of a team concept, as this might have taken away some of the criticism that drivers were not the best from each country.
