It all a money game. The team with the most money can do better R&D and have a fast/more reliable car on the track, which seems to make up a large percentage of whether it is a point scoring car.

I wish it could go back to the days of guys tinkering in their garage to build a competitive car. We will never see the likes of the old days when Jack Brabham designed, hand built, and drove his own F1 car to a world championship title win.
