In fairness most of the tech has crossed over already.
Granted the tech is not in your average family minivan, neither are v12s mind you, but Merc built around 300 Project One hypercars and sold each one of them for 3mil.
Between the cars themselves, service plans, plus who knows how many other Mercs one had to buy just for the privilege to buy a Project One, Merc made close to 1 billion dollars. Probably more even.
I would think it is fair to say that they successfully monitized their F1 engine program.
i suspect Ferrari will eventually do the same.
