That was much of my point. It's rather easy and simplistic for Helmut Marko to start hinting about Red Bull and STR pulling out, or Vijay Malya asking for money, but where were they when this stuff was on the table, prior to approval? Bernie doesn't like the sound of these turbo engines, yet where was he when this stuff was up for debate?
Perhaps that's what they wanted, originally, was to have something like WEC type hybrid systems. If so, they shouldn't have gotten into such a Rube-Goldberg type device instead.
One does have to admire Ferrari and Sir Frank. When Ferrari had problems last year, the main target of their anger was their own employees and management who failed to deliver, and justifiably so. Sir Frank seems to just plug along, no matter what happens. He's seen good years and bad years, so I suspect he's just calling this par for the course and moving forward (and doing so quite well), rather than griping.
