Add motor racing having Stewards who make the decisions.
Sure sure, next you'll say birds are real!
Greed, it lowers the advertised price, but once you spec it decently you've added a grand in extras
Crikey! Especially as Australia uses centigrade. That would cook your shrimp without a barbie.
Redbull are having reliability issues this year with both already taking engine penalties. And they've been limiting the high engine modes.
What kind of certification do you need to take your clothes off and play volleyball with your friends?
No, the teams must design most of the car themselves. They are allowed to buy the engine, gearbox and some suspension parts from other teams. But all the aero parts and chassis must be designed in house. The FIA have access to their computer systems and factories to police this and the cost cap. The teams being constructors is a key feature of F1. Red Bull's second team RB is based in Italy, while the top team is in the UK.
And no they don't put all the money into one car, they tend to be the same car for both drivers in a team unless they are testing one upgrade idea against another. There is a a cost cap and testing cap, which limits how much they can throw at brute forcing the optimal car.
The teams make everything about the car except the tyres and some of the electronics. This makes it a constructors championship as much as a drivers one. It's amazing that all 10 teams get within a few percent of each other in absolute pace when they all get there by different ideas. For cost cap reasons, Limited amount of on track, wind tunnel and computational simulation time makes it hard to totally catch up if you make the wrong decisions before the season starts.
So the teams that hire and retain the best engineering talent, and have the best management structure to let them work effectively, tend to get the fastest car. It's a human and technology optimisation equation.
The bonkers thing is that with this announcement it means either the ozzy driver Riccardo will be promoted into the fastest car next year, or be out of the sport all together.
