A cost-cutting idea

The computer is still in the process of changing the way we live and work in the modern world. It is worth noting that Renault has just reached an agreement with its trade unions on the subject and will soon start to offer some of its employees the opportunity to work from home two to four days a week as they do their work on computers whether they are at home or in the office. The aim is to make the company more competitive by reducing overheads while at the same time, making employees happier as they are better able to balance their work and home lives and at the same time will help the world become a better place as there will be fewer cars commuting.

One wonders whether there can be similar cost-cutting initiatives in F1, rather than bigger and bigger factories being built.
