Would be good for financial stability. Wonder if they'd stay a customer team for power units.But which PU? Rebadge Merc as an Audi? Aston Martin can get away with having a Merc

PU as they're niche and it's easy to blag AM as being a "coachbuilder" (loosely!) around
customer engines. Harder to do if you become "Audi F1".

buildYes, I'm aware of that, but if the takeover happened this year that's a good while to be running

but rebadge it as Ilmor or similar to add a little disguise to the casual follower.
