But definitely F1 has an issue whereby one team becomes dominant and it's near impossible for another team to catch up. We've seen it over and over again the past 20 years. One team owns the sport for 5 - 7 years.
I think the solution is the winning team needs to be given more of a handicap going into the subsequent seasons, and the other teams have more advantage given to them.
The NFL tries very hard to create parity among teams each season, and that's what makes it exciting to watch. F1 needs to do more to create parity as well.
Like how other sports, there's a draft and the worst teams get first picks. Right now, in F1 it's basically wind tunnel time that is allocated based on finishing order. But I think they need to come up with even more than that.

I really liked the idea of a luxury tax of some kind. Spend however much you want but once you go over the cap, you are heavily taxed and that money goes to the teams below the cap.
