That is more than likely a cop out.

OMV as a company to remain competitive will have to focus its resources on getting in front of green technologies (oil companies are the only ones with the money and infrastructure to do so). Being in central Europe it will also have to focus more money on access to Eastern Europe markets and resources as well as Central Asia. More or less they need the millions and millions they spend on motorsport to put into subsidizing deals and research...
