[QUOTE="Norm, post: 619014, member: 175218"] I think what we will have to agree upon is that this season's F1 is a mess because the previous natural order (Ferrari, McLaren, BMW at the top) has been upset by rule changes. Blame Mad Max, I say! There was no question, as far as our game was concerned, that Brawn required a revaluation. There is now an argument that Red Bull requires the same although the "reality" gap is not as big as it was with Brawn, but the Red Bull components still look too cheap and maybe the Brawn's are a touch expensive. My sympathy goes out to Maverick who has to administer all of this! There is a danger if you go the all eggs in one basket route of all Red Bull, that if one driver fails to finish the race (and this may be through no fault of his own), that this has quite an effect on the total score. The leaders could still suffer because of this - although it might require this to happen in a few races, and for them to stick with all Red Bull, of course. We don't know the value of your team because you are "Top Secret", so we will take your word that you have the lowest value team in the top 10. £136 M was required for an all Red Bull team after the Brawn revaluation and I think a lot could have managed that - but I haven't the patience (or inclination!) to work out exactly how many.
