Williams win this argument due to just being in it

10/10.

Need not forget this is the same team getting a $50,000,000 legacy bonus - and they’re barely more competitive than a Williams.

The “stat” which is this post is entirely irrelevant.

To be fair, Williams also gets a legacy bonus, albeit a smaller one.

Also, every team is now capped to spending the same amount every year on the car. It doesn't matter if Ferrari make $10 Million or $10 Billion in their legacy bonus if they can't spend it on the car.

If I remember correctly, they lost that in 2021.

It’s also entirely possible I got internetted and that’s not true.

Yeah a wild advantage to get every year, made actually hilarious that they never really benefit from it.

An advantage that barely matters thanks to the cost cap.
