You do know that the teams fly themselves around as well don't you? those costs can be significant when multiplied by number of team personnel and number of races.
If the suggestion that it was a contra deal is correct, it would have saved teams a lot of money to spend on other things or to keep budgets workable - either way good for the health of the sport.
