It's a whole lot less than half Dallara!

I was surprised to read how much Ferrari is in that car - it's every single fking thing except the tub, nose cone (even the wings are Ferrari clones) and engine cover. I'm a whole lot less impressed with Haas' results too.

Given the advantages they had by being outside the rules for a long time and then getting all the customer stuff you would expect them to be competitive. Will be interesting to see how sustainable it all is. They don't have sponsors and whilst HAAS has bags of money how much do you want to chuck away to finish 5th.

FORMULA 1 TEAM PAYMENTS FROM 2015

(Figures via autosport.com)

Ferrari — $192 million

Mercedes — $171 million

Red Bull — $144 million

Williams — $87 million

McLaren — $82 million

Force India — $67 million

Renault — $64 million

Toro Rosso — $57 million

Sauber — $54 million

Manor — $47 million

Note 2 of the 4 top teams get paid above their station. Ferrari didn't win any championships but got the most money. Red Bull got substantially more than Williams despite finishing behind them. System is rubbish.

I like the ability to procure components of other teams. Perhaps they lost needs to be pulled back a bit but the approach is right. Maybe its a for the first 3 three years of a new team thing....thrn revert to a shorter list.

Shame tonsee Sauber struggling at the moment with finances. I will be gutted if they go the way of Tyrrell and Lotus as they have done a solid job since moving into F1

    • I live in a French European province, within a very metric country. We hate football here and the statue of liberty was actually built in France haha. Sadly, we're currently also feuding hard with the US due to tariffs. The US is the US. Everywhere else, is everywhere else. 
    • Heater wasn’t working in my 32  so I decided to pull my dash out ( sounded like a great idea at the time) so initially I was sure the heater core was blocked. When I pulled it out turns out that the heater blower actuator was cable tied so it stayed shut and this prevented the heater core from doing its job as well as flowing. so currently the dash is out the heater core is out and seems to be fine but I think I’m in over my head  and need someone that knows what they are doing to take over and get it finished. I’m located in mt Annan, nsw 2567 if anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know    
    • I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.
