FIA - You know those top people that are on the pit wall and in the garage that designed the car and run the team. We see Marko all the time and Adrian designed it didn't he.
RBR - Erm, well they are there but they are doing it for the goodness of their health, yeah that's it.
FIA - OK then erm, we need to have a little chat we will get back to you.

Technically, if the rules states that outside contracting doesn't count in the budget cap, that's the FIA's fault for having that loophole.
It means you can literally fire your top earners, and hire them as a outside contractor, thus circumventing it, and that would be legal.
