It's not fair on our guys to have that constraint right now.

And Behrman sort of weighed in as well.

He said, if you look at the gradient of development, it's much higher.

People are bringing up massive overhauls to their cars this year, almost on a weekly basis.

That's something that we simply couldn't do.

So Sam, there are 11 teams in F1, 10 are using the budget cap completely.

Haas are the odd ones out here.

Should there be frustration from that Haas team right now that they can't spend as much as their rivals?

Even if it doesn't work, the effort's there.

The effort should be there.

Yeah, I feel like the frustration as well is from team members who can say, like, look what we've done with so little.

Look what we did last year.

Look what we did the first three races of this year, like before all this development and the upgrades came along from other teams.

They were fifth in China.

They scored points at all of the first three races.

And it would only be natural for those team members to say, well, if we were fully budgeted, look, imagine what we could do with that.

And how can you expect to keep team members when that is the attitude?

If you've got rivals, and we know the amount of poaching that happens between teams, a lot of them very close in terms of location here in the UK.

If you're another team and you can say to a team member from Haas, we love what you've been doing there.

Come work for us and have 25% more to play with.
