Team Finances....

[Chinook]

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find info on team finances. What is the overall budget for Ferrari compared to Prost? How much do sponsors put into these teams? How much does it cost to go through a whole season? I'm not sure that this information is available to the public but it would be interesting to see the "Budget" differences between the 11 teams....

Thanks alot,

Just give BIG Bernie a ring, I'm sure he'd let you look at the books.............

I recall reading an article in F1 Racing which shows the approx budget each team has in 99 or 00 (cant remember)...it also gives figures for sponsorship as well as some oher finance information..cant remember which issue..perhaps someone else came across it too and could tell u?

The issue was March 2000, and had lots of info about finances. Of the top of my head figures like 1billion were used to describe the worth of Ferrari. There was also figures on budget and average wages etc. It should be a great article for you to get the info you need.

I think it wher the 99 budgets, because the Arrows budget was lower than Minardi, so it has to be, Orange alone brings in more money than the Minardi budget.

I suspect that at best you will only get an educated guess as to a teams real budget. Like everything else in this game the truth is there to be manipulated according to what you wish to acheive.
