How much does F1 burn money on earth?
We all know that F1 is a game of money burning, but how much money is there, let's look at it today.
Let's start with the car itself. F1's racing car is all about technology and quality. A small spark plug will have tens of thousands, and the piston will not be 200 thousand, the engine crankshaft 300 thousand and the engine about 2000000. Of course, I'm talking about the RMB here.
Generally speaking, if you want to save a F1 racing car can run normally, cost less than 8 million yuan, will look Qibaiqibashiwan. But, please be careful! It's just the money to save a car. If you want to run the car for a season, you need a lot of accessories. It's almost 56 million. Note that there is a "but" here, on the premise that there is no accident in this year, and there is an accident, and that is the least 5 million to go in.
The above is the cost of the car. The car must be opened. Take a look at the 2017 F1 driver's salary: Alonso's annual salary is 40 million yuan (250 million yuan), 31 million yuan (198 million yuan), and Vettel 30 million yuan (190 million yuan). Of course, not every driver can get such a high annual salary as these three, but do you have to use a good driver to get a good result? The cheaper one: the pay driver, can you get that car with a huge investment?
By the way, if you want to get "eligibility for money burning" to join F1, the FIA will also receive about 300 million of the deposit. In general, without considering the cost of logistics personnel, a F1 fleet with top drivers is 620 million yuan a year.
These also are visible in the money, there are a lot of "invisible" expenditure: Research fees, design fees, fees and so on wind tunnel experiment, it is hard to burn. In 2015, when Ferrari was in pursuit of Mercedes Benz, do you know what the budget is? 2 billion 770 million RMB!
In the rhythm of the burning, some of the motorcade really couldn't help, and many teams dropped out of F1, such as Renault, TOYOTA, Honda and so on.
Not only is the team burning money, but also the organizers of each station are burning. In the Bernie era, we should not only charge the stations, but also hold the sponsorship income and the copyright income of the media. It is not a strange thing that the contractor can only achieve revenue through ticket revenue and trade in the field. So, the 2015 season has a 55 year history of the German Grand Prix to exit; after the end of this season, the Malaysia station will also disappear;
More money, Bernie makes money, that is why F1 can sell a $8 billion 500 million.
