Any sport, business, competition, etc would put as much resources as it possibly can to be the zenith if the actors are serious about the participation. And F1 seems to have horns-a-plenty when it comes to bank accounts...
I'm more of the perspective of the rules of the F1 game and how it's preventing true real world (engine) development so that other teams can catch up. If F1 is truly the technological edge, then barring/restricting engine development during the racing season seems contrary to this label put on F1.
Now, to continue the bench racing in the spirit of fun, some would say that WRC cars are more technologically advanced due to the different road conditions they drive on. :-) Would like an insiders perspective on that.
