it completely depends on the engineer, surely. you can pay big bucks but if you've not got an engineer who can play the strategy masterstrokes as well as make use of all the data then you're not really going to be able to do much. and that's the case in a big team or a smaller team.

the practical downsides of running one or even two cars in fia f3 would be that the gap between races and sessions can be pretty short. all you need to do is bin it in the race on saturday and you're going to have a huge issue with prepping your car in time for the qualifying session because there isn't a pool of 8 mechanics to help when they've finished prepping their car.
