      Not wanting to take too much away from max and red bull but I do wonder how well other teams would be doing it they had also ignored the cost cap.

        Mate, let it go. Ultimately is was 400k I believe?

        The decreased wind tunnel-time and CFD-time do have an impact, so I can’t imagine any advantage from that 400k to still be lasting.

          The 400k is a lie. It was over a million. The 400k figure was if they had applied for a tax break they didn’t apply for and had been granted it.

              I’m really sorry, please forgive my ignorance, but I don’t know what you mean.

                I am a financial accountant in a fairly large company. When external auditors look at the figures, they add up everything that they find. It doesn’t matter if the error is increasing or decreasing the profit-figure, they calculate the total of the errors.

                  Ah, okay, that makes sense I guess. Seems weird from a lay point of view, but if that’s the industry standard.

                  Thanks for explaining.

        Strange way of saying “I wonder how well other teams would be doing if they had also nailed the new regulations to perfection”
