It shouldn't, yet it does if you want to be competitive.

I would propose making equal FOM payments to all teams, semi-spec aerodynamics with ground effects aero, strict restrictions on the type and number of dampers fitted in the suspension (no fancy heave dampers, front rear interconnect etc), a control gearbox (XTRac or Hewland) and a control turbo (and of course a non-hybrid simple V6 twin turbo, for example, identical to Indycar 2021 2.4L twin turbo V6 with 1000hp, with a price cap on the season lease and a requirement to supply any team who requests a supply).

Yet others are SO against control parts in F1!? How to convince them control parts and nearly spec aero is OK? How to convince them that simple rudimentary Indycar power units are OK?
