makes alot of financial sense to have the whole grid populated by twin teams , it would probably end the pay driver scenario and stop the sorry plight that we have just witnessed with caterham and marussia ,
it would also benefit the teams driver development programmes, however the flip side being the fledgling teams would no longer enter F1 ,
personally i feel the grid is heading towards customer cars as a way of cutting costs and keeping the grid to a reasonable level , of course both these scenarios could be avoided if the big teams were not so greedy and could agree on the smaller teams having a larger share of the divvy --

The sport needs the smaller teams. I can see more future in twin teams like Red Bull / Torro Rosso
----------------------------------------
That would be my preference. TBH i always thought Marussia where a sister team of Mclaren, where did i get that from???
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Marussia had a partnership with McLaren for aero (i.e. using their wind tunnel) and a partnership with Ferrari for engines, drive train, gear boxes, etc.
