so for sure i am assuming they are putting in as little as possible...which might explain why im on the side i am on!
no doubt any manu can in come and out as they please, so the other assumption i am operating under is that the more money an manu invests the longer they are likely to remain in.
so naturally im inclined to take issue that a brand can come in just for a few years while they spin the IPO machine (like Alfa) and making the minimum amount of investment before leaving. particularly if they dont leave the team in a better place after leaving...and no one seems to leave Sauber in a better position.
but this is the way it has always been like this so why the issue now?
to that i would say with the new set of prize money distribution, TV revenue sharing, and a budget cap which tremendously lowers costs finally puts the sport in a position where it can legitimately support 10 fully competitive (or least properly funded) teams.
just mu opinion but now that the potential exists for an overall healthier grid, i would like to see a healthy 10 teams before letting in lightly funded back markers.
Andretti is a great name though so maybe being harsh.
