My hat's off to the powers that be for having the bravery to implement a budget cap. I didn't believe they'd ever have the nerve to actually address the inequalities.
They've set themselves the Herculean task of administering and enforcing an almost impossible program. No matter how well structured the regulations are, or how well that the FIA monitors and measures compliance, you can bet your bottom dollar that cheating is going to be rampant. Policing the teams is going to be more than a full time job.
No matter the cheating and the teams attempts to exploit loopholes, the budget inequalities will be reduced, maybe only slowly, as time goes on. But reduced they will be.
I'm not expecting perfection. But having the cap in place the beginning of a huge step in the right direction.
Well done!
