Knowing how unsuccessful new teams have been since Eddie Jordan sold his team makes me well aware of what you guys are saying. The Stroll Racing Point disaster that became Aston Martin has done pretty well for a changeover. They, of course have lineage back to Jordon via Force India, etc.

I can't recite all the F1 history of who bought whom and who was a start up. Haas has stirred up controversy using the Ferrari and Dallara resources, so there is something that is bothering F1 insiders about the relationships in spite of their car being technically unique to the team.

How does the patent thing work? Change something by 10% and you can have your own patent?
Not really looking for the answer, just debating that while 'unique' they are all very much alike, using spec noses and wings.

A 10% difference in the undertray is likely the difference between first and last place. I get that.

One thing I found out is that until the actual entry is confirmed, no restrictions are able to be placed on a team for design and testing purposes. So I wonder how far along they might be already.
