Yes, the factory teams, like Toyota and Honda like to see it as an investment, but it was never like that for private teams or even individuals competing in motorsports back when cars were novelties. There was no large commercial market when motor racing started. I guess I've always seen F1 within those idealised parameters - building and making race cars for the sake of it.
