"So I think the sport, as we're now in the budget cap era, has moved on to where we're trying to have 10 independent teams from a sporting, from a political, from a technical point of view.

"I think they [Red Bull] are very much playing by the rules. I have an issue with the rules - and believe the FIA needs to address this."

I mean, I agree with Zak. It's a weird situation since I guess you can't legally force Red Bull to sell Racing Bulls, but them having two teams on the grid is really not a great look for the sport regardless of how you slice it, unless you think they deserve it for saving the Faenza operations.

They saved them 20 years ago. I don't think it's right for them to coast on that goodwill forever, especially not when they didn't exactly buy the team out of altruism.

I agree, but it's what usually gets dredged up when this topic resurfaces every now and then.
