I "think" they just wouldn't care. The pain is felt by the supplier who is doing something like selling below cost. This is assuming that this car would be available to anyone.

However in reality, I suspect if any type of customer car situation came about, F1 would put in place some controls (including a process to be accepted as a customer car provider). Maybe those controls may be some type of checks to prevent upsetting the customer car market (selling a MUCH nicer car than anyone else by selling them at a loss).
