    I agree with most, the same owner shouldn’t ideally be allowed ownership over more than 1 team for several mentioned and unmentioned reasons

      Aren’t there potential cost savings in running two teams? It seems lettings owners run two teams could help put more cars on the grid without making the sport even more expensive. I really don’t know if this is the case but it seems like it could be a factor.

        Oh definitely! I’m amazed that it’s not spoken about more. The value of the research output alone from another team would be huge.

        “The cooperation with Red Bull Racing will be closer, also in terms of cost cap and synergies.”

        This is a quote from Marko in this article
