The problem with F1 is the FIA has restricted and reigned back the costs of chassis and engine development so much, it's practically a spec series. The is result is the wealthier teams rule the roost; sounds familiar.
I still think the IRL/Iconic committee totally messed up by not choosing Lola, who originally came up with the aero-kit concept and a universal tub that Indy Lights and IndyCar teams could both use, saving Lights teams the cost of a new tub if they wanted to race in IndyCar itself.
