There's a great article here in Motorsport on why #F1 needs the smaller teams - https://motorsport.clickon.co/2017/02/07/formula-1-will-miss-manor-racing/
Its especially hard on younger drivers like Jordan King "For everybody in my position as a young driver, it becomes a lot harder when the grid shrinks."
There are some discussions about Chinese backers coming in......so of course there is still a chance they'll be back in 2018.....unfortunately #F1 has always been a rich mans sport and that's unlikely to change anytime soon :(
