F1, what if, Red Bull bought that race. My own thought.

What if Red Bull walked down the pit lane to the William's team and made them an offer. This is the last race of the season, your not in the points for the title, you're not going to take a podium, we need a yellow flag, we can make it worth your while. A hand shake is had and the driver gases it a bit to soon and the back end steps out. Yellow flag created. Team walks away with a bonus under the table and Red Bull pays for the car. Just saying......
