  Elon musk couldn't sit on a pallet full of cash and win the race. He has to find the people who are smart enough to turn the money into an actual racing machine.  
  If you gave me a billion dollars, I could not engineer a winning car. >
  
  It's a TEAM sport. You put Verstappen or Hamilton in a Williams and they aren't winning shit. People forget or don't know this. >
  
  F1 isn't meant to have 1000 different cars racing.  So I guess in that sense it is pay to win.  More accurate would be pay to compete.  Once you're in the competition then spending is no longer the key component.  What your engine can do and what your driver can do become the key factors. >
  
  Best driver ends up with the best, or one of the top cars. 
  F1 isn’t easy. Look at Mazaspin, bought his way in with Daddy’s money and couldn’t drive for shit.
