If Mercedes looks after FI (Stroll Snr.) they would be expected to vote in Mercedes interest to keep the engine deal?
In other words Merc don't need to spend money on FI to get the best possible performance from them, the money could be better spent controlling another team to increase Mercedes' voting block, FI will vote the Mercedes way.
These votes should be by secret ballot to ensure dissenting teams do not face manufacturers' wrath.
