I actually strongly agree with this philosophy because it’s about fostering a certain culture.

But as a counterpoint for the sake of argument, money and time spent on optimizing the website could be better spent on the actual race related stuff. So that might be where the optimization is happening.

In reality, it’s probably the simpler explanation, that they know how to hire mechanical engineering talent and just see IT as a cost center (and a nuisance) so probably are cheap in that department.

The website does not fall under the budget cap, there is plenty of money to go around which cannot be used for racing anyway.

Indeed! Ferrari literally started racing again in Le Mans Series because they didn't want to have engineers sitting around or fire them due to the F1 budget cap. Instead they redirected (very successfully) their additional resources elsewhere.

Didn't know about this, what a totally cool result of a normally mundane action (re-allocation of business resources)
