If a cost cap comes in and is effective I suspect the big teams will have legacy benefits that will gradually eroded leading to a much closer field.
I have noticed in recent times there have been no leaks about the discussions or any threats of teams pulling out of F1. That would tend to indicate that the talks are making progress. (I am referring primarily to the future Teams, Liberty, FIA talks about F1 structures).
I suspect we will know more when the new rules are published. It is also notable that when the FIA looked for tenders for standard gearboxes and brakes there was no comment from the the teams.
