anyways a merger sounds odd unless merging would allow them to run 4 cars somehow otherwise giving up two grid spots sounds like they are throwing away their most valuable asset.
If you go back to post#48 where there is a proposal to have 8 three car teams then a number of mergers make sense as teams will need more race personnel to be available with 3 cars to run. While not all the people from the teams that merge will be needed in the new team there will probably be openings in others as F1 would have 24 car grids.
