F1 is an extremely difficult series for a new team. When BAR Honda entered F1 several years back, they stated that they expected to be competitve the first year but they failed miserably. Honda finally pulled out last year by selling the team to Brawn who are leading the team championship race so far this year.

Toyota are just now starting to become competitve but they have yet to win a race even though they have been in F1 for quite a few years. In Toyota's case it has nothing to do with money as they have the biggest budget in F1. These are not spec race cars like in NASCAR. There is constant development going on all of the time and they change their cars every year.
