James Vowles described it as the team in previous years being in survival mode, they weren’t able to think forward because they were always thinking about how they survive the current season.
I think James mentioned that their allowance for this year was £7m and they used that on a system that could track the production status of everything in the factory.
He also mentioned that without their own fabrication facilities, etc. they would need to pay 3x the cost when using external suppliers.
At the end of the day, the cost cap is new, and will need to be tweaked over coming years. AM had perfect timing into when their investment came, and Williams will not have that benefit. It sound perfectly fair to me to take what the bigger teams have been able to spend and average that out for the other teams.
What negatives for us viewers can their be? I’d love to see more teams fighting at the front.
