Worz intimates that the only reason it exists is to sell cars

Brawn don't sell cars, Red Bull don't sell cars (or their other team Torro Rosso), Williams don't sell cars, Force India do not sell cars

the primary reason for those teams being involved is not to sell their cars

the whole thing about it being amazing that Brawn are doing so well is indeed misleading for the very reasons you've pointed out - Brawn's success is very much down to the money Honda spent on this year's car while they were still init last year, and Honda spent big, very big...
