Budgetary Cosmos

Recently, I was describing the astronomical amounts of money Formula 1's teams are allowed to spend and the climate this creates. I then decided to find out just what recent F-1 budgets actually are. I was shocked.

Leading the pack is the highly successful, and highly penalized McLaren. Last year, they paid a $100m penalty for 'unauthorized viewing' of rival technical information. Team principle Ron Dennis brushed it off as a temporary minor discomfort. Projected 2008 expenditure: 400m

2. Toyota 393m
3. Honda 382m
4. BMW Sauber 378m
5. Ferrari 329m


I couln't believe it: Ferrari with only 329 million?? The gall.
