Making money may be not the most exact vision, but setting up a team and purchasing a series are operations that cannot be mistaken for one and the same.
If you run a squad, well, you collect your budget and move by consequence; at the end of the season you''l find out you have spent all the funds, and. maybe, something more from your personal pocket, but not much more.
In the second case the global economic involvement is uncomparably higher, and you risk to lose 10 times more than you invested, which could drive your personal life on his knees, unless you are as rich as TG.
Such a big commitment must be undertaken aiming at making money, because you set up an estabilishment that has to maintain itself, to be able to honour big contracts with big counterparts (engine manufacturers, tv channels, etc), etc.
Thus IMHO, the reasoning of GP Racer is much more realistic that the one of Jay and Liz (with max respect, though)
