If they wanted to buy into a F1 team, there are cheaper teams to buy.
I understand rich people wanna be racers like Maza-spin and Zhou wanting to race. Heck Lance Stroll got dad to buy him a team. He at least is not a slug slow driver. It is sad that the money alone is enough to buy a seat. Much like countries with rich automotive history hosting a race. Think of all the fantastic cars from countries like Russia, China, Turkey, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, and Mexico and that is just the start of the list. No doubt if Monaco was trying for the first time to be a race venue it would likely never happen.

Gotta love the F1 BBC! Mazespin, Stroll, Lafiti, and Perez, with his backing from Carlos Slim.
