now they sell 2 of their 4 cars to Stroll at lets say their marginal cost so 87.5m (43.75*2).
because of the budget cap, Merc have already spent their 175m so would have no more money to spend developing their car (budget caps are about spending limits irrespective of income earned).
where as Stroll, who has only spent 87.5 mil buying customer cars, is still free to spend an extra 87.5m developing their purchased cars (175-87.5=87.5).

If merc build 4 cars @ 175 mill and sell two of them at 87.5, that can be deducted from their spend as they spent it on behalf of another team.
So they now have 2 cars and 87.5 to play with, as do Force In... umm racing poi.. un jorda,,,, aston martin
