When that occurs and the talent goes elsewhere the teams have got a skills shortage, a lot of the people who designed, built and know the car are gone and then the real problems start. Maybe a long odds possibility but image MB lose a lot key engine design and technical staff to support the PU's at the track for their team and all those they supply, that would not be impossible looking at it today.

Don't know about the teams based outside of the UK but those in the UK should be ok with the support packages in place from the Government for employed workers. It's only those that are self employed contractors who are going to really struggle.
