My understanding is that any team needs approximately 100 million of USD simply to build a very basic car that passes the regulations, buy then engines, and then show up to 20+ races. Most of the cost is actually in showing up to all those races. There isn't much room left to build a competitive car, hire competent staff or drivers. If you're a backmarker team, what do you do to raise so much money? It's almost impossible. Please give us 100 million USD so we remain a backmarker team? Who is going to stand for that?

The next problem is that F1 has too many races in too many continents. In my opinion, 20 races a year is way too much not only for the competitors but even fans. The teams sometimes need to rush their staff and equipment across continents within a matter of days, and when they arrive they have to pay a whole lot of fees to compete in the races.
