It is not only less ££ but less power. Red Bull now have 2 votes out of 10, if Porsche are a team they will then have 1 vote out of 11. Same for the others.

You could understand selling 40 or 30% and red bull still having major control.
F1 does need more teams, but you have likes of other team principles blocking the decision for some odd reason (£££).
By 2020 when Mercedes was relentlessly dominating the Sport for 7 long years, I used to wonder what's in it for Red Bull to continue this humbling run and not fold. Most teams with such difficult journey would lose steam like Williams and McLaren did. But this team's perseverance is amazing to witness and they have retaken the lead again. It's good for the morale of the team. I hope Ferrari would come back to continue to have a fighting chance.
That’s true. Working out a percentage it’s not a huge difference though.Big Tea wrote: ↑09 Sep 2022, 12:26It is not only less ££ but less power.

But many 'votes' can go through wit an 80% favour. I too hope Honda staychrisc90 wrote: ↑09 Sep 2022, 12:45That’s true.

10 teams - 10% of the vote.
11 teams - 9% of the vote
8/10 teams means a 80% majority. So not a ‘massive’ difference. There is the pot to be shared out too though. But simple way there is to increase the pot size.
I’d love to see Honda retain their share/stake in red bull. You do have to question how that will work with RBPT wanting to become a engine manufacturer in ‘26 but surely Honda would want to retain their name, and likely engine, in the back of the car they sponsor.
on contrary, it's smart. If they qualify like this, for example:
