Not at all. And yes, I don't know for sure what the budgets for each are, but I can use critical thinking and see that VWAG/Audi/Porsche, and Toyota have their footprint in many, many different motorsports, compared to Nissan/Renault, which if it wasn't for F1 and Super GT, wouldn't have any top-line motorsport programs. And even though they have been massively successful in F1, For as long as I can remember, they've operated well below any of the other manufacturers budgets(bar Cosworth). It's a case of putting two and two together.
