I'm struggling to understand what Helmut Marko is saying today:

"We thought we had a safety net of $3m. In the end, there was only $400,000 left. With the money, Hamilton constructs a front wing and Haas makes a whole new car."

Now we know they went over the cap, so they did not have $400k left.
But - what is he saying about Hamilton getting a new front wing?
Is he saying that the amount they spent over the cap could buy a Mercedes front wing, or a Haas chassis?
Or is he trying to claim that Mercedes constructed another wing that they didn't declare in their costs?
