How much the teams spend on the F1 is one of the best kept secrets. But there are rumors over and over again. since XetrO has just posted numbers and led a lively discussion with another user (sorry should look) about it, I would like to open a thread where there is discussion about it. the budget of renault is apparently far away from the numbers that are published and comes rather to the regions of toyota and ferrari. from not comes also nothing, how 499.05 million US dollars should toyota spend this season on the F1, but quote: “This sum is far from reality”, denied John Howett. Ralf Schumacher is even the opinion quote: “McLaren has the largest team and also the largest budget”. ” Ferrari is also similar in size, and BMW is on the way there.” “The budgets of the top teams differ, if at all, only to a very small extent,” said Ralf. “This also applies to Flavio Briatore, who always shows how cheap he works. I don’t just think I know that we certainly don’t have the biggest budget at Toyota.” barbara
