How would you police that? I could sponsor your team with payment in kind and you get another dozen phantom employees.

With regard to 3rd party suppliers:
That is how it used to be ages ago. Before commercial sponsors, the only stickers you might see on an F1 car were those of suppliers with a direct interest, i.e. those of the oil/petrol company, spark plugs, brakes, gearboxes etc.
