Does any one have any information on the team budgets for the 2005 season? I've been reading rumours that Red Bull will be injecting about $100 million into the team every year. What about Midland Group? Surely a company such as Midland could match that figure. Also, it will be interesting to see how Sauber's budget has decreased with the loss of Red Bull. Can they still finance their recently built wind tunnel and further developments in the car? And then there is Minardi, the perennial Minnows of F1. I recently read a quote of $35 million budget for the team. Compare that to a reported $400 million budget for the Ferrari team and it is truly remarkable they remain within 96% performance of the top teams.

Peter North! Helluva name there buddy!

Autosport says $38 million for Minardi this year.

I'm not sure what's funnier, Bush or McLaren.

You might want to look up the word estimate. Tifosi gave you an answer.

You wont even get estimates, its all guess work and discussions on the topic are not pretty. Do a search in the archived threads you will get some idea of the figures. You might also try grandprix.com

Off the top of my head The top teams are around $400 million.

Then for Ferrari, McLaren and Williams decrease the amounts (Ferrari say they are battling financially, Mercedes and BMW have supposedly cut their funding of McLaren and Williams respectively), Toyota you could most probably increase, I dont know about the others. RBR are getting about $100 million

Wow less than I thought. Sauber & BAR are seriously impressive on their budget if these figures are accurate.

[Ozz88]

And when is Toyota going to deliver, if accurate?

How dare you Ross - a list that suggests Ferrari don't have at least 3 times the budget of every other team combined; to our poor little resident trolls you'll be the guy who killed Bambi.

[dajwalia]

If Sauber has a budget around $100 mill, can't they afford to run a third car on fridays ? I really feel for that team for notbeing able to take this friday advantage which would help them on Sunday a lot.

[carbonfibre]

So whats the excuse for McLaren, Williams etc now?

They clearly have enough money to at least be equel to Ferrari and still they cant manage to win title's the last couple of seasons. Ferrari is more efficiënt i guess.

And Ferrari also have to build an engine of that budget and teams like McLaren and Williams dont have to do that.

Posting that kind of crap just ruins your credibility further Ross. Everyone on this BB knows damn well Ferari has 47 times the budget of McLaren Willaims Toyota, Honda and Renault combined. Why would you post such drivel?

Technically it would be the guy who killed Bambi's mother!!

[tifosi]

Next thing you know Ross will be coming on here saying Ferrari run V-10 normally aspirated engines, when we all know Ferarri use turbo charged V12s at 5.0 liters huge sticky racing slicks and full active suspension.

Oh yeah and just in case anyone starts to catch Schumacher RB can activate an "auto" governor on aany competitors car.

So on one end we have Ferrari and Sauber showing what can be done with a certain amount of money, BAR, Renault, Jordan and Minardi showing what should at least be expected and the rest (McLaren, Jaguar, Williams and Toyota) showing how, with a bit of management cluelessness, a lot of money can be wasted.

They should really use Formula 1 when teaching young business majors.

Judging by those figures that is probably the "including engine" figures for all teams although to be honest that's horrible guesswork at the best of times.

That said, yes. Ferrari do spend their budget well.

EDIT : I'm having trouble believing Red Bull are paying quite that much.
