If nothing changes, Mercedes will just be the next Red Bull, and everyone else is left fighting for table scraps.

except that...
unlike Football, F1 racing has a very poor mentorship program.
THere is no such thing as highschool Formula 1, College Formula 1, backyard-Formula 1, chilling on the beach throwing the ball around Formula 1.
There are those kids whose families could afford to get them into the karts, then into the F-series levels, and so on and so forth.
Remind me again how much Schumacher had to pay out of his own pocket to get a seat in an F1 car?
The culture of support just isn't there, so until karting becomes an after-school activity any kid can participate in, we're not gonna see anything of the sort.
