Also you'd have to figure whether that includes the whole team, just the car, the car and drivers, etc.

Ferrari, McLaren and Toyota spend 400-450 M $ a year

unfortunately, freer regulations will raise costs at a higher level, so they should need to revise a lot of other things at the same time, but I basically agree.

And if they are going to allow higher costs just for safety, teams (car makers) would mask performance improvement with safety ones.
Bernie is getting old and confused, but teams are bitches too.
