Several teams designing and building their own gearboxes vs one company designing and building a single design of gearbox? The single company will need fewer people, at least in the design section, if not in all areas. That's just obvious.
Oh, and F1 is "the private sector".
The single company needs to supply for 10 teams, so one would expect their team to be larger than any singular F1 team...
Also, F1 is obviously the private sector (non govt), I was obviously short-cutting the understanding to mean any other free-market company.
What is your real problem with cost-cutting, intelligent synergies being put into F1? Do you have family members that will be out of work?
