Formula 1 Multiclass Solution
After watching the Friday press conference for F1 I got an idea.
We see this all the time, F1 teams failing and new ones coming in. The topic of money cap has came up once again after two back marker teams went belly up. Toto Wolf (Merc boss) speaks that it would be impossible to police the cap. I kind of agree. Sports car racing has a different solution that I think F1 could try. They have multiple classes. Prototype one (P1) is the extreme, unlimited budget, etc... then they have P2 which is limited resources, spec engines, etc... This gives a more reasonable approach with new teams. What if F1 adopted that? It would make the back markers matter, which would be nice IMO. The teams that want to do the money cap could, and the manufactures that want to spend $300 million can.
