F1 is littered with a history teams failing and going bust - so if it happens again what is wrong? Good management will keep to budgets and spend wisely.
For the drivers salaries, I'm not just talking about the basic wage, I mean the personal sponsorship deals and all the extras.
Innovation may mean a small team is able to produce something that costs very little but gives a huge advantage. Look at the past with developments made by lotus and tyrell for example.
The reason for the huge expense in engine development is because the money is there- if it wasn't it wouldn't happen. The manufacturers being involved and owning the teams IMHO has caused this huge expense.
Having control tyres won't cut the cost either as the funds will be diverted elsewhere.
