So I was just reading the changes to the Sprint Race rules on
Autosport and saw this little tidbit
"According to F1 regulations, each team will be permitted to spend $150,000 more per sprint race, with an
added $100,000 allowed if one of the team’s cars retires from the sprint. An extra adjustment to the cost cap can be made to cover crash damage if it leads to the retirement of a team’s car."
How many cars will be retired to get the extra cash if they are not in points scoring position. I can see Aston doing it since they will probably dead last anyway.
