The difference? F1 does not require an official car maker to build a car. F1 does not require expensive homologation procedures that can only be done by some big marque.

Anyone who can find the money should be able to build a wrc car. I'm sure a lot of compagnies could build very capable cars if they would be allowed to.
Yet it did cost Mercedes $5,490,812 just to enter in 2020...
