Yeah, how dare one team do a better job than the others. BOP the world, I say.
Sports equipment have BOP
Should the FIA claw back some power from F1 teams, and eliminate 'B' teams?

I mean there is enough proof that they've been on or over the edge legality wise with all the oil burning rule changes and their engineers admitting they were running their engines on lower settings just to make it seem as if there was competition. Not one engine has come close in the past 8 years. Ferarri almost did but it turned out they had to cheat to get there.

And that is the fault of Mercedes how exactly?

The biggest problem for me with B teams is how they affect the other midfield teams- obviously we haven’t reached the stage where the A and B teams are locking out the top of the grid together yet (thank god), but the principal is the same- two teams working almost together, regardless of whether it’s RB and AT, or Ferrari and Haas, unfairly impacts the results and revenue of those smaller teams without such a deal.

The B teams will become a problem once it will be the route to win.
Especially with the cost cap it will be worthwhile to use time of a B team in the windtunnel for the A team. Sure, it's not allowed, but how are they going to police it?

They can do a better job.
They probably shouldn't have been allowed to basically write the rules on the new PU.
But anyways, that's old news. And the fault of the old morons in charge.
We have far more sensible people running the sport now
