Are you so deluded to see that's why all the manufacturers are in? You think Renault are in for the sport of it? They said themselves that as soon as the benefit goes, so will they.
Much as it pains me to say it, the only manufacturer in it for reasons other than sales and brand awareness, is Ferrari. They probably make so much in merchandise and whatever, that the benefits outweigh the negatives before they even see the road cars.
I somehow don't think Kimi of all people is overally interested in historical aspect of it. Can't see him tootling along in a W196 at Goodwood anytime soon.
