Nice article and a video on the race youtube about how this was all made possible.

Red bull had the advantage of an unlimited spend and cherry picking all the best people with generous renumeration from a long way back
before cost caps.
Even the Porsche proposed 50/50 worked in their favour when it didn't happen as the car maker had no clue on what equipment was needed.
Would have been a bit like the honda effort.
You can see why Honda have been struggling as I dont imagine they had the engine factory up and running till very recently.
Im not sure if the youtube video has a lot of speculative AI generation as it seems very detailed and if not, maybe
Honda should watch the video.
Redeems Horner somewhat as I doubt RB engine would have worked out as well otherwise.
Stroll seems to have been a mostly lucky billionare in the past ,as I doubt he considered any of the issues in his eagerness to get
an engine supplier.
