All the recent crashes have strained them financially and from a logistics perspective of getting parts. Serious question - what happens if a team just bows out of a race weekend? Are they contractually obligated to be there and at least attempt to run? https://www.total-motorsport.com/f1-williams-miss-2024-las-vegas-gp-crash-damage/
Under resourced for so long + Cost cap and bad luck could equal no racing...........Wow. Perfect storm of events assuming this becomes reality.
Let's not forget all the times the car was stuffed by the driver that was recently fired too. That couldn't have helped the situation up to this point either.
All teams are concious of the cap and damage. Checo topped 3+mil this year. The need to remove crash damage from the limit
Checo, after the BrazilGP, has topped $4.86million in damages to his car. He's currently #1 in the de-constructors championship.
Take into account that Perez brings around $40Millions of sponsorship to Red Bull from Carlos Slim (Claro, Telcel & Infinitum).
Yes....yes....I know. I'm sure Colapinto will be a money maker as well with regards to the South American market.
