Some people will get even more loaded! The cost to sponsor someone like Mclaren won't drop so they only get $40m income, so presumably the rest will all get given to shareholders/invested in buildings etc! in fact, does the $40m include infrastructure such as building new hq's etc? And assuming not, what's to stop mclaren/Ferrari spending on infrastructure that will improve the cars such as simulation software etc??
Also, I may be wrong here, but won't currency differences create difficulties between teams in the eurozone, in the uk, and potentially in the us if the new team happens? Ie the same work could be cheaper in the USA, or exchange rate fluctuations etc (I assume there will be fixed exchange rates for each year for the fia calcs but still)??
