    Money well spent?

    Just came across this rather interesting article on pitpass.com:

    http://www.pitpass.com/fes_php/pitpa...s_art_id=39752

    Puts a new light on the amount of money spent by the manufacturers. Sorry if old news.
    Forza Ferrari!

    Wow, that is a hell of a lot of money. Toyota spent £1.3bn in eight years? And Ferrari just £900m in sixty!

    Makes Ferrari seem positively long of pocket and short of arm in comparison.
    All other opinions are wrong....

    If you work that out on spending per season (including engine supply) then its even scarier

    1. Toyota ................ £162.5million
    2. BMW ................ £96.6million
    3. Mercedes ................ £77.4million
    4. Honda ................ £66.2million
    5. Renault ................ £47.3million
    6. Peugeot ................ £19.3million
    7. Ford ................ £15.0million
    8. Ferrari ................ £14.9million
    9. Porsche ................ £3.9million
    9. Alfa Romeo ................ £2.7million

    All that money every year from Toyota with sweet FA in return, no wonder they pulled out

    The biggest spender in the last 5 years was Honda!
    Well, well, this might be a surprise to those who thought that the Brawn GP car was built on a shoe string.

    What exactly IS this list? It sure isn't a list of F1 budgets. So what is it?

    There's plenty of posts dating less than 1 year that suggest that BrawnGP1 was a miracle only due to Ross' genius and was built and won a championship on the 'smallest budget'.
