Keep in mind that Lamborghini will likely be just adding a fresh set of stickers and some headlights to the equation that will have been developed and raced for a year by works efforts. Mercedes doesn't have that opportunity. So even investing into an LMDh car only to leave the returns at the mercy of independent privateers is a harder sell. Not to mentioned that anyone entering now would be a little late to the party with all 4 LMP2 chassis providers already busy with important projects with other manufacturers.

Almost anything is, at a cost.
