Casper, I'm not sure people are ever going to be able to answer you in a way you deem satisfactory.
What I would ask, however, is that surely the problem of producing a competitive car for customers in F1 is the same as that faced in Formula Ford, Formula 3, GTs, Prototypes, NASCAR and previously Formula Renault?
Whilst I appreciate some of these are simpler vehicles, there's no doubting the complexity of LMPs, Oreca and Peugeot had a good relationship in LMP1, as do Audi with Joest and also previously with many other teams.
I guess what I'm saying is that undoubtedly many large manufacturers can and will build cars better than the minnows, that's not to say people don't have bum years but rules stability reduces risk in all areas.
