There is one, and ONLY ONE answer, if the want to make a worthwhile race of it - success ballast.
Another idea: FIXED BUDGETS - and if the big teams quote unrealistically low prices for in-house parts, then the should be required to sell them at that price, or subsidise alternatives to the the other teams.

the idea of success ballast seems to work in the Touring Cars, so that could be a good idea - and one that could be implimented fairly quickly, I would have thought
- I'm not sure about fixed budgets - maybe for things like the ECU & tyres, but I wouldn't like to see all the teams 'dumbed down' to the level of, say, Minardi, for engines & gearboxes, for example?
