F1 Budget = No Budget. After doing some searching two years ago some,if not most of the teams spent well over $300 million a season. !!
Three hundred plus employees for the larger teams.Technology centers where hundreds are employed full time that do not even go to the track.Media Centers.Full time Pit Crew training/practice. You ever watch those guys change tires and fuel up one of the cars during a pit stop?
F1 is cool to watch on TV,especially the pit action.And the pretty girls,whom all are carefully screened for 'that look'.No trans gender or gender fluid people (yet).
Could you imagine if they had their way with Drag Racing ?,dozens of techs staring at monitors as the cars go down the track,tire wamers/coolers,the engine rebuilds between rounds,carbon fiber everything.
Not so sure,other than an associate sponsorship on a car most teams could or would want to compete with that.
European racing is not American racing.
