You don't understand. Enter in WEC has a price, enter in F1 has WEC price x 5. Is not just about to win or not, is about make short and long term profits and stem losses. In 2001 williams was a sort of work team for BMW and was the second competitive team in the grid behind ferrari, williams-BMW won some races that time, it was enough to make profit? I think it was, at least in short term, but in long term bmw f1 project was a failure. A WEC failure is not critical for a manufacturer, but spend tons of € for years in f1 obtaining nothing else than a fail can kneel down the whole company. This is the reason why porsche and other f1 interested manufacturer don't get inside.
Anyway if 2014 and future regulamentation will still give an hand to diesel, audi will defeat every gasoline car in his way. May be porsche, ferrari, toyota, kia, hyundai, nissan, an on...
