I don't think that they mind going head to head with another team that actually designed and built the car. They do mind going head to head with a team that didn't.

I would suggest that a chassis builder be allowed to stay on the grid as long as they build their own car and can get it to qualify within the 107% target. At the moment you cannot purchase a chassis from another constructor.

Depending upon the regulations (always seem to be changing) they may have no choice.
