Formula 1′s Leading Team Has a Big Secret

Easier said than done? E.g. what's to stop a team from buying a part from "some company" that only had one item in stock? Or what if all the engineers on one team decided to work for $1/year because they all got rich from something else?

It seems like you'd need a huge amount of regulation on the teams R&D process to prevent extra money from somehow being spent.

Aren't they spending a tremendous amount of effort regulating the tech as it is?

I know nothing about F1. It just seems more tractable to me to be able to have a single inspection item (the delivered car) at specified times (races) than trying to regulate the actions of thousands of people over years.
