therein lies the problem, doesn't it?
i agree that teams running more than a certain number of cars per series (3 seems plenty in modern f3) isn't good for the mid-term future, but it's not falling apart because the teams are running 4-5 cars instead of 3. it's falling apart because almost all the teams running 4 cars are having to do so at less than a break even budget, and without a sugar daddy bankrolling the team it's not sustainable.
it is a massive shame there aren't more teams though. it'd be a real shame for f3 to cease to exist in anything other than a euroformula style spec beyond this season.
