Not sure how accurate this is but I would have thought that Ferrari would be the fore runners here, am sure I heard they were increasing their budget this year by making $100 million available (not sure if that has been taken in consideration)
1 thing is for certain, the gap between the top 4 team in is almost 300 more than the next set of teams.
