Toto Wolf has been saying a lot about how his team, and their star driver, has not been given credit for what they have been providing. It makes me question what kind of credit is being bandied about?
I think it would be a massive error by Liberty Media to keep that grossly unfair "bonus payout" system, even if it included more teams.

All those teams receive heritage payments under the current agreement.
I think they also got signing bonuses for signing early with Bernie before.

There is a Formula 1 finance thread further on here somewhere where the payments are laid out if you are interested.
