Firstly I will say sorry if the is a daft question.

How much will a current f1 team wage bill be a year?

Difference between someone like back maker team to someone like merc/redbull?

Does anyone have any ideas?

According to this article from 2011, Ferrari were the biggest spenders and HRT the smallest spenders.


Ferrari - $295mill

The teams dont reveal their figures openly. So all that you see on websites are unofficial figures and cant really be trusted. Also with the resource restriction in force, which the teams are apparently policing themselves, they are even more secretive about their spending.

Actually, English based F1 teams are required to file their yearly accounts at the London company house. So we do have some insight into what they actually spend.

Here are some from 2011:

Red Bull Racing - 207 million euros
Mercedes - 145 million euros
Lotus - 155 million euros.
Williams - 111 million euros.

But spending for the champions always is higher due to the bonuses. So you have to take that into account.

Yeah, given Red Bull apparently given EVERYONE at their base a £10k bonus (or perhaps equivalent in Euros, I forget) which could really add up. For an senior person on £60k a year it is over 15%, for a tea lady (or tea-man) or receptionist on a lot less it could effectively double their wage if not more. Actually, would be interesting to know what the wage structure at Red Bull was.




I'd guess McLaren were about 200 million or so, putting them either top or second in the UK league. Be interesting to know and compare these too.

Oh, I assume the driver wages come under these brackets? Or is this for non-driver personel only? I could imagine a good argument being made for either way of showing the figures.

McLaren have long been renowned as the best paying team. Don't know if it's true or not, unfortunately, but that's the word in the paddock.

The Great Place to Work Institute (seriously - it's real) have awarded Ferrari the prize of being best place to work in Europe on more than one occasion. I think they've just won it again. Obviously that includes the road car factory and doesn't mean they get paid brilliantly, just thought it might be relevant.

I believe the figures include drivers wages as well. Mclaren have released there account for the same year but you have to request the documents and pay £1 for them.
