    Now we sorta know how much it costs to run an F1 car

    Well, at least a backmarker car.

    Apparently, Giorgio Mondini was never in contention for the HRT seat, and instead bought his 30-odd laps for approximately $210,000.

    That's about $6500 per lap.

    (Just for fun, I calculated how much it cost to run my Sodi-Rotax at my local 1/4 mile kart track, which takes 23-24 seconds: $110 per hour, or around $.78 per lap.) :

    Don't worry, I'm sure HRT made a hefty profit on that figure they recieved
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.
