That may be easier said than done.
F1 needs to be a healthy competition if it is to maintain the level of funding and financial wealth and public attention that it has attracted over the last thirty years.
having a few wealthy teams and the rest scratching was good enough in the first decade through to 1960 but then in the following decade the breadth of competition increased and accelerated towards the end of the 60's after advertising was allowed.
Right now the world economy has some constraints, spending habits and advertising practice has changed in line with a new demographic and a change in general public wealth and spending habits.
The increasing costs are also separating the have's from the have not's. If you have 1 or two dominant teams they get the lions share of the funding and the others pick up the crumbs. The bottom half of the field have never been this needy financially for last thirty or forty years.
