As stated earlier though - what if....
Mercedes spend millions on the testing for a new engine theory. This then gets utilised on, say, the SLR.
From this knowledge, which is proven to be on a road car, Mercedes then pass the technology details for a minimal fee to the F1 engine team.
I'm pretty certain that in terms of competition, Renault can't demand that they are entitled to Mercedes' engine development for a road car, otherwise more companies would be using a Mazda rotary engine.
