It really does seem that money talks. About the only time which has looked like an exception has not really even been that much of an exception.

When Brawn hit the scene as a "New" team they had a rocketship of a car with a good engine (Mercedes, installed at the 11th hour when the team was "Saved" but in reality most of the car development had been done before Honda pulled the pin on F1. Would the car have walked away with the title that year with Honda power, who knows.

(They were down the pecking order engines wise and then as now the rules pretty much meant they would stay there, part of the reason I suspect they pulled the pin, who as a manufacturer would want to remain if all you could see was a continuing disadvantage)
