Assim como para os pilotos, a justificativa para tal aumento recai sobre medidas de segurança.

There are any number of suspects, most of whom are faceless bureaucrats. The $100m that got paid to the FIA went into young driver and road safety schemes, distributed by a five-person board specially appointed for the purpose. Note the board included both Ferrari and McLaren members to avoid bias. However, I would argue that a responsible leader would have plugged funding gaps before attempting expansion. I have a feeling that if Trudi Coughlan hadn't gone to the local copy shop with the Ferrari document, that the FIA might be in the process of going bust by now. So maybe the Ferrari/McLaren mess wasn't entirely bad... I’m not even sure it’s Max’s coffers that the missing money has ended up in.
