They're allowed to ignore that clause for Max though

Max did 4 races with a Ferrari engine. That'll do.

RIP Caterham and HRT. Like Mugen and Yamaha engines in the 1990s, they were crap, but they tried.

A Mugen engine won several races in the 90s and nearly a championship in 1999.

Well, he did jump to Merc a year before the 2014 regulation changes. It'd be cool if he was a sort of Bizarro Alonso, and he and Ferrari saw the same results for 2026.

It would end up being some drat thing where either Charles or Hams could win the championship and they decide to double stack the pitstop in Vegas during a Georgiebin yellow and eff it up.
