Mercedes F1 cannot reach agreement with Liberty on budgets going forward and decide to accept offer for F1 team not including power units from Ineos.

Mercedes still committed to supply power units for F1 and Ineos justify move due to lower agreed operating costs and many of the existing sponsors staying with the new Ineos Mercedes F1.

In 2021 Lewis wins his eighth world title with Ineos Mercedes, the titles being with three different constructors......is this a record!

It doesn't read as if it is a buyout. More like even bigger investment.

Unless I'm reading it incorrectly.

Precisely, that’s why there is a big sticker proclaiming “Ineos” on the air box.
