BS is a real weather vane, unless he is the winds himself! Regarding the budget cap, here is what Mr. Vasseur told AH: "The establishment of financial regulations was the best decision made in F1 in more than twenty years." Removing it would amount to returning to an arms race. What do Audi, Ford, Cadillac think? Alpine...? Those who came to F1 for the budget cap, among other things?

At least for accidents it will be less annoying but it will unbalance the competition, after that too bad no budget cap was a long time ago and we had crazy seasons in the 80s-2000s therefore.

MBS has raised the possibility of removing the budget cap in Formula 1, claiming that cost management "is giving the FIA headaches." Rather than finding a solution to the budget cap, he would prefer to remove it, potentially opening a new arms race at a time when the gaps between teams have now narrowed, which partly explains F1's current success, even if some aspects of the sport under the auspices of Liberty Media are regrettable.
