The irony of a resource restriction agreement is that it would prevent the establishment of another team like RBR, as a new team could not spend enough money to become competitive.
If HRT suddenly found a billion dollars US, they would not be able to buy a wind tunnel and establish the necessary personel to make themselves a serious challenger.
Also if RBR decided to share Adrian Newey with Toro Rosso, how would you allocate the costs? 50 / 50 each?
If Renault supplies the engine and gearbox free, how do you calculate the cost?
The resource restriction agreement is just a lawyer and accounting picnic to drive the costs of competing higher with no benefit to the sport.
F1 = money, deal with it.
The only way to deal with costs is to control the development paths when they become unsustainable and no longer provide a proper reason for continuing down a particular path.
