Yes, but that has little to do with this since the alternative for Mercedes to sportcars (DTM) is also costing a lot of money. Opel left DTM because they spent 30 million euro and they were the little spenders in the serie. Just imagine what the costs would be for Mercedes if DTM also ran in the US (and asia). You could run a very competitive LMP1 effort for that.

Besides, BMW and Mercedes bosses have weidhed pros and cons before this step. If somebody thinks he's found some mistakes in their risk weighting then he should connect with Mario - maybe BMW Motorsport boss will change his mind, take his team out of that and employ that "somebody".

Using that logic we should end this forum.
