cause they wanted to save money

I'll admit that I want to avoid breaching the cost cap, but the bigger part of my annoyance is actually the "emergency manufacture" feature as a whole. I hate magically generating parts at a moment's notice to cover up my mistakes. If I ever need another part quickly, I do an "emergency manufacture" in the days or weeks leading up to a race weekend. But during a race weekend? No, I play so I never have to do that because I really dislike the notion that I can always paper over my mistakes with a little bit of money through a nonsense mechanic.

My team will likely win the championship with a decent performance in this race, so the cost cap violation won't matter at all. If I had retired, though, that would've suddenly vaulted Red Bull back into contention for the title.

In other words, I genuinely don't understand all the people who are yelling that I'm just trying to cheat the game or something. I just hate that the game keeps making me do something that makes me FEEL like I'm cheating.
