I wouldn't put money on that!

Ferrari will want more than any other team,it's in their nature isn't it.Ferrari are the reason it's happening and so they'll want to be seen as being 'better' than the rest and rewarded accordingly as is the case even now.Same old same old.

FOTA have so far only promised engines and gearboxes (of what standard is anyones guess) for 6.5 mil.There has been no mention of how any money will be distributed or of how much there will be and what they may need to spend it on.

Ross Brawn said that FOTA will need too "help" the 'private' teams like his.Don't expect that help to come at the expense of the manufacturers own 'self-interests'.
