Unless you mean the majority are not involved in servicing and preparing the physical race cars. But you have to bear in mind, F1 teams are HUGE research and development and manufacturing operations.
It's not like a industrial lot race team of 10 people who buy their Porsche Carrera Cup race cars, and simply service them and take it to a race meeting and put it on the track for their customers.
The F1 teams are more like Porsche themselves, designing and building the entire 911 car from scratch
and entire 911 engine from drawing board to casting to assembly from scratch too.
