They’re still a lot better than plenty of teams in the past. We’re spoiled now by 20 consistent teams. In the earlier days of F1 anyone could show up and there’d be “Pre-Qualifying” to eliminate the cars that were so slow to be dangerous to the competitors.
They’re funded, show up, and occasionally grab some points. That’s about all you can ask from a backmarker

But imho it’s bad for the sport that there are teams that can barely pretend they’re contending for points.
There always has and always will be backmarkers. There’s teams in all sorts of sports championships that barely ever win.
Only half of the cars get points. That pretty much means there is always going to be teams that won’t be challenging.
…fair enough.
