Relegation, there's an idea!

10th place get binned to F2 and F2 champs move up. Complete with driver line ups :p
yup!

Do it for teams too. Based off of say a 2 season or 3 seasons, whoever out of the 3 seasons finishes last, gets dumped out of the f1 and replaced by the top f2 team from tyhe last 3 seasons
 
If you really think Red Bull aren’t wary of a challenge next year from Mercedes I’m not really sure what to tell you.
I'm sure they will find another way to cheat.. maybe risk another peanuts fine and some naughty time in the wind tunnel.
 
I think Red Bull will start being wary of Mercedes into next season now that they seem to be somewhat competitive now.
Let's be honest, they won't really be worried because they've probably shifted development to the 2023 car full time about 3 months ago.

That's more than likely as much of the reason Mercedes have 'caught up' - Red Bull had this wrapped up and didn't need to keep wasting the budget on this car when it could be spent on next year's car.

Its a decent idea but the reality is that the F2 teams just don't have the money, infrstructure or likely even desire to be driving around at the back in F1.

The only way I could see if working would be if the customer car concept from 2007/2008 was brought back so an F2 team could partner with an F1 team and essentially buy a car off them

What makes you think Mercedes have kept pushing this car?

I know they brought updates but, surely that benefits them next year as well. Don’t think it’s so clear!
 
I was sat with my son waiting for the RB tyres to drop off and with 6 laps to go it became clear that wasn’t ever happening.

Mercedes and others got caught out with how well the S & M tyres were holding onto lap time at the end.

We can guess all we want but there’s no denying Merc are challenging now and miles ahead of where they were in the first few races. Lewis was only what 8 laps off the win last race? P2 today. That bodes well for next season.
