The problem is that car racing is very boring if you allow engineers to go wild. For example using airflow to increase grip at some point gives advantage to the car in front. Pair that with powerful engine and there won't be any passing ever once that car is in front.
Making fast, unpassable car is just to easy. Regulations are about crippling them enough to make racing interesting. If you have to do it anyway then why not add other lofty goals like driver's safety, efficiency, disallowing solutions that would drain everyone's budget etc.

There may be a team always in front, but the simpler rule would be: once you make it, you are out for a season or two. That drives incentive to not be over-the-top winning unless you want a guaranteed one-and-done team.
