For someone who is obviously quite intelligent Max is clearly having difficulty grasping a simple concept.

F1 is a business. He can't control budgets. If he stops spending in one area teams will spend it in another. If he stopped all aero, tyre and mechanical development the teams would simply spend $400 million a year researching the fastest paintscheme or making their wheelnuts lighter or something.

If he tightens the screws too much the manufacturers can simply shift their F1 funding away to their other subsiduaries. Ferrari isn't allowed to spend $400 million on R/D? Thats fine, get FIAT to do it and cook the books instead.

Thats as stupid as introducing a new law to limit IT R and D to cut Microsoft's turnover.

Max isn't that stupid so the question is, whats he REALLY after?
