But we from the Spiders-Crew give you this information. How did we get this secret information? Well- we walked on Internet and send some E-mails to some teams and some of them give a answer back. Sitdown please and read this amazing story. The construction of a Formula 1 car is ( without development costs ) _7d 500.000 US dollars. Lots of money. The cost of part and spare parts are two times more! From the monocoque- the safetycocon where the driver sits- three are needed for two drivers (that's the minimum). Williams get the tyres from Goodyear for free, the same counts for Arrows but those tyres are from Bridgestone.Tyrrell gets support from Ford. Ford gives Tyrrell the Ford Cosworth ED4 V8 motor. But Tyrrell must pay for this motor- the amount of money is not known.In 1 season one car needs 22 motors,the price:150000 US dollars.These are not only new motors because after every 500 kilometers (after one race) the motor goes back to Ford and they overhaul the motor. Every car needs 4 electronic gear-boxes. Under the bottom of the car is a plate. With this plate they can check out what the weight of the car was. This plate with Titanium costs _7d 8000 US dollars. In one season you need about 13 of them (13x8000=104.000!). @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ SPONSOR WEST PAYS @ @ @ @ MCLAREN @ @ @ 50.000.000 US DOLLARS A YEAR @ @ @ A team needs money- a lot of money. From who do they get this money? From their sponsors! The new sponsor of Mclaren,the sigarette-factory WEST pays _7d360.000.000 for a period of 5 years. Consequently 50.000.000 US dollars a season. Why do company's invest so much money in Formula 1? Because they get it back. The 17 Grand Prix's of the FIA World Championship are broadcast in more then 100 different countries. The Grand Prix circus has more then 30 miljard viewers. Who sponsors a top-team, with 75.000.000 US dollars a year, gets 400 tv contacts back for one invested dollar. Sponsors also invest in succesful drivers. For a sponsor sorbadge size 10x5cm on a race-overall from "Schumi" is an amount of 4.000.000 US dollars means nothing. The budget of a top-team - Benneton, Ferrari- McLaren- Williams - is _7d 75.000.000 US dollar a year.For a middle -classteam like Jordan, the budget is 35.000.000 a year and for a team like Tyrrell, the budget is 25.000.000/year. A beginners-team budget is 10.000.000!!! The toppers don't have to pay for their V10 motors:motors are for free,they will be treat like a baby. But a beginners team like Minardi must pay Ford for 15 overhauls V8 motors $500.000. The other money the teams gets from the television company's and also from the Grand-Prix organisers. The results are important,after the season they get their travel money back when they have World Championships points. If you want to start a F1 team you must have a lot of sponsors.
