Maybe so. But is GM just happens to build a new zillion dollar state of the art wind tunnel for the new Corvette the F1 team can rent it for 50 bucks a day. It is just sitting there unused so $50 a day is a good price!
How many engineers does GM have? Can they do a lot of work, share that with the team, and let the F1 team "discover" a new way to do something?
GM invented the new magnetic fluid shock absorbers that is used worldwide in many cars. Detroit engineering can well be at the cutting edge.
