Also, on Autosports YouTube channel they were discussing what they would like to see in the F1 game, and they pointed out that many of the old teams are likely defunct and it would be difficult determining who owns the licenses these days. If, for example, a team went bankrupt, the licensing could end up being owned by a creditor that doesn't even realize they own it as it was transferred in a court document.

It may also be unclear as to who owns the rights as they may not have been explicitly sold. Does Eddie Jordan own the rights to Jordan F1 cars? Did those rights get sold to Midland and then to Spyker and then to Force India and now to Racing Point? Mercedes today is actually the old Honda team... Messy.

A YouTube channel called WTF1 made a video about the messy history of F1 teams, like you said Racing Point was once Force India which was once Spyker. (Do one even calls the Racing Point lol) even Crofty forgets from time to time :)
