Unless there is a major rules change the cars more or less evolve from year to year but its interesting to see where they started. This year is most likely going to be an evolution of last years car with minor tweaks for most teams.

Well, there are a limited # of F1 team franchises, so if you want in, you pretty much have to buy an existing team. Mercedes isn't really Brawn, when Mercedes bought it, the entire team architecture changed.
The same with Red Bull.
