While I understand that a Formula One race team has very little in common with consumer road cars, it strikes me as... weird... that a car company just sort of pays to have their name on the race car.
I know that Mercedes does it, and Renault as well, but Ferrari and McLaren really are focused on F1 cars. Williams and Haas as well. Aston Martin is a weird synthesis where Aston Martin isn't making the F1 cars... but there's a cross over on ownership anyway.
Certainly in the past Ford didn't really make the Cosworth engines they were famous for, so it's a part of racing 'tradition'. I did always appreciate that the Honda F1 programme was done by Honda personnel, not professional F1 people. It was their Achilles heel, of course, but I really wish all the F1 teams associated with a car company were really part of that car company, and not a glorified advertising subcontractor.
