F1 costs are high, but that's the price to compete.

Unlike....let's say MLB, the Yankees have the highest payroll ($183 mil), that puts them in contention every year. But it doesn't work for all teams....like the Mets $100mil+ payroll. But small market teams such as the Marlins were able to win the world series, and the Angels won with a $66mil payroll.

Too bad it's not like this in F1....unless the first half of the starting grid crashes and/or has mechanical problems during at least half the races. Then you get smaller teams like Sauber & Jordan winning half the races and some REAL competition for the driver & manufacturer's titles

In NASCAR, even the big money teams such as RCR, DEI, Penske South, etc have a good shot of winning, although smaller teams have just as good a shot.

Racing in general needs more parity.
