    I’ve been wondering at which point a team would go “it’s not worth it to race for us, we already won” in some shape or form (like retiring every single race)
    I mean, you’d get another huge surge of coverage for doing that, so the marketing might like it.

      Yea it would depend on how the sponsors would take it. Also think the fia/fom/others would get pissed
