The problem is not so much the expense per se (though that is an issue) but the yawning gap between F1 and any other sort of motorsport. There’s no realistic way, usually, for an F2 or IndyCar team which is excelling to make the step up. The only comparator I can think of, in terms of resources, are the big LMP factory squads, Audi, Porsche and (to an extent) Toyota. But two of them have pulled out and Toyota is looking to reduce, not expand, its expenditure.
