Ferrari have about 20 mil less this year, but yes I get your point. Id say that's more of a indictment against how poorly run Ferrari has been in the last couple years.
Red Bull is also an interesting case. They run about 100m less budget on paper than Mercedes and Ferrari, but that's mainly how they've structured the companies, and having 2 teams. The technical company's budget is split between Red Bull and Alpha Tauri, which is how they get away with running $100m budget less on paper, but in reality we have no idea how the resources are divided internally. The general undersatnding is that the technical company develops everyone with the intention of using it for Red Bull, and anything left over or second best ideas goes to Alpha Tauri, and splitting the company up that way in terms of budget would have RBR exceeding Ferrari and Mercedes budget. The real number is somewhere in between.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This is basically why Mercedes is partnering so hard with Aston Martin right now. It's literally the perfect loophole to get around the budget cap.

This is from 2019, but turns out Ferrari isnt that bad - Williams though - pooooo
The budget numbers are all over the place. They're not audited numbers, just estimates based on how someone wants to interpret based on limited public data.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The consensus tho is that the big 3 teams spend roughly the same per year, with ~1000 employees.

Does that mean Alpha Tauri is more efficient at spending monies for Gasly, or Albon is just a one-hit-wonder? Then again, the same thing happened to Gasly and he's now doing better after the switch.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

yea but at least you can get an idea - however a 100 million + or - can certainly throw things off - except for williams, hahahaThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I've wondered what would happen if Gasly or Kvyat ended up contending for a driver's championship ahead of Verstappen and Albon.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Ive actually found I watch Moto GP now and F1. I tried it historically and it didn't work but for some reason it worked in Corona2020. The racing is nuts, since you only have 2 wheels, cold tire? Bam down you go, guy in first is now running through the gravel trying to get his bike back.
I've really enjoyed F1 for the true engineering aspect now that I have a more 'sporting' series to watch.
