    Aren’t there potential cost savings in running two teams? It seems lettings owners run two teams could help put more cars on the grid without making the sport even more expensive. I really don’t know if this is the case but it seems like it could be a factor.

      “The cooperation with Red Bull Racing will be closer, also in terms of cost cap and synergies.”

      This is a quote from Marko in this article

      Oh definitely! I’m amazed that it’s not spoken about more. The value of the research output alone from another team would be huge.
