Montoya is leaving Formula 1...

Ultimately I know Max thinks he's reducing costs but making huge rule changes every year is achieving the exact opposite.

You can never reduce costs in racing. A team will spend as much as they want.
Strict rules decrease the advantage that more money brings you.

Absolutely. I'm just saying that the rules changes that have come every year for the last few years have done nothing to decrease cost or even restrict the performance reward for spending more money that teams have been getting.

and even if the fans hate him, no series is complete without the protagonist Laughing

You mean antagonist?
