It might be a political exercise: Give the engine to a top-running private team and let them race against the diesel juggernauts. Of course they are gonna have a really hard time, so AM can claim that the rules for production based engines are not fair when they enter P1 by themselves, and with a little luck get some breaks by the ACO.
