Can you chaps put your heads together and come up with some of the figures of F1 (and no, not that bird with the great rack on the other thread.
Current team spend estimated at anything from £100m to $450m.
Q. How much of this is corporate and how much racing or is it all racing and corporate / marketing budget seperate. For example, the new Ferrari Motorhome must have cost a fortune alone!!
Title sponsor about $50m
What about other sponsorship?
How much do they get from FOM.
"Bribe" from bernie for new teams $10m
Is there still an entry fee?
Expected cost of stock engines if a budget cap comes in?
Anything else you can think of.
I appreciate that some things may be impossible to prove but it will be interesting to get an idea on what the figures stack up like, especially with the pot being diluted by new teams.
