Even allowing in customer cars, the problem of the cost leap to becoming a full constructor would remain, so customer teams would be highly likely to remain customer teams indefinitely. Furthermore the lower end constructors would lose competitiveness and have their business models wrecked overnight (why pay $50m to be title sponsor of Williams when you can pay less than half that to be title sponsor of McLaren 'B'?) resulting in a reduced number of full constructors and less variety on the grid. I could foresee a situation of three or four manufacturer teams being the only constructors, with multiple satellite customer teams, contractually prevented from challenging them.
