But that would have less than zero bearing on whether they build a P1/GTP/whatever car in the future. They committed to providing an engine with branding stickers, they did just that thus have provided 100% of what was asked.

And as Ferrari is NOT the controlling interest in Alfa (FCA is and Ferrari does NOT control those strings), the brief was to give Ferrari cash from FCA to provide advertising for the Alfa brand within motorsport. And as FCA is promoting and building Alfa internationally building a P1/GTP/whatever with an upcoming 8C style project could be a similar paying Ferrari for the engineering know-how and building a car through Dallara or other chassis. Using the Sauber deal as an example of X future thing won't happen is ignoring WHY the deal occurred in the first place, I think purely to crap on Ferrari for doing what they've done for decades now, build cars and sell them without much factory support.
