Re: [2021] Formula 1
Whoopsy:Keep trying to convince yourself that Red Bull isn't a privateer team. Your conspiracy machine is running full steam dude.
Red Bull never started off with Renault engines, did you know that? They have ran Ford, Ferrari, Renault, and now Honda engines with their own chassis. <--- That's the classic definition of a privateer team, sourcing engine from someone else to run on their own chassis. Next year they will be a full constructor works team with their own branded engine on their own chassis.
Will VAG become a deep pocket team like Mercedes or Ferrari when they finally enters F1? Nah. We will never know, as there will be a cost cap for every team. But would they if there aren't a cap? Nah, they will still spend like a Renault, or else they could have joined F1 a while ago before there is a cap.
You are free to believe in your own ideas, just that no one else will be.
Whoopsy, you are totally lost in budgets. Budget cap is made for teams (and only for chassis dev), not for engine development. Engine side has no caps. There will be the freeze until new engines come.
For your info merc invests 40 mil euro in team (maybe a bit more). All other money are from sponsors and f1 itself. If you like autosport and want analyse, once again, my advice, read more serious literature, not motorsport and autosport. Or you can talk to Jacques, I am sure he can give you some insights. That would be the best
I wont comment other - I give you info, you give me motorsport.com articles. If I want motorsport.com "analytics" mixed with coffee and donuts, Ill go there, not to rennteam
