Whilst I agree that teams with the biggest budgets have an advantage in F1 the same can be said for any competitive sport and it has been that way since time began. What are the solutions?

You could have all teams running the identical spec of car and engine as is done in some racing. You could even go so far as to have a pool of cars which drivers draw lots as to which one they drive. That would, in my opinion, ruin the sport. You really do need each team doing its own thing which leads to more innovation which has benefits outside of F1.

You could have penalties for success like the weight penalties used in touring cars which I would find more acceptable.

You could have a two race situation at every Grand Prix. Two shorter races with the first run as it is now and the second run in reverse starting grid order to the first. This should lead to some interesting racing in the second race.

Any other ideas for making F1 more competitive and unpredictable?
