I’m not sure if it’s millions, but it’s definitely 6-figures. A lot more consumables.

I know a guy involved in F1, one time we were out and someone asked him, What is the difference between Indy car and F1 ?? he replied a "B" as in Billions vs. Millions. One F1 team could fund all of TF, FC and have enough left over to fund all of PS. IIRC their cap is $600 million year without driver salaries.

Just the travel expenses in F1 is more than the total than JFR spends total.

I would be very interested to know what the actual car expenses are.

I'd be curious to find out how much more robust F1 brakes are than nitro or top alcohol brakes.

I dont know the numbers but let me add some info, The Mercedes team has 2500 employees, 1500 of which work on engine/drivetrain. I cant imagine what the pay is based on expertise at those levels.
