T car was scrapped long long ago
Cost cutting

This is not strictly correct. The teams take 3 cars to all races but the third is not allowed to be assembled unless a chassis failure occurs on one of the race cars and the team need to build up a new car.

ahh, thanks for the clarification guys.

28) SPARE CARS, ENGINES AND GEARBOXES
28.1 Each competitor may have no more than two cars available for use at any one time during an Event. Any partially assembled survival cell will be deemed to be a car in this context if it is fitted with an engine, any front suspension external to the survival cell, bodywork, radiators, oil tanks external to the survival cell or heat exchangers.
28.2 Any driver who decides to use another car or whose car has a change of survival cell following the qualifying practice session must start the race from the pit lane following the procedures detailed in Article 38.2. Under these circumstances :
- no restrictions on fuel load will be applied ;
- the car concerned will not have to comply with the requirements of Article 34 ;
- the car will be permitted to carry out one reconnaissance lap when the pit lane is opened for the race

Is the 'competitor' a team or driver?

someone who works at redbull told me they take more than a sparecar in parts anyway so the restriction is a waste of time (confirmed redbull employee btw not some wannabe)

on another forum not f1 related he organised factory visits for a few members and he managed to get some signed RBR gear for someones charity auction.
he posted shots of newey doing doughnuts on the grass in his ferrari before any other website even knew about it to

Assembling two cars is cheaper than assembling 3 cars.

[marcush.]

assembly cost are sure not a big factor in terms of cost cutting...Have you ever dismantled a car and stored it away in pieces...a car suddenly needs much more than a garage in terms of storage room ...
