New Data Estimates What Formula 1 Teams Spent In '18

The "wide and growing gulf" between Formula 1’s haves and have-nots "is illustrated in new data" on how much each team spent in '18, according to Dieter Rencken of RACEFANS.net. The basis of the analysis is a "combination of interviews, off-record discussions (crucial to obtain inside numbers)," Companies House records for U.K.-based teams, and "good old-fashioned sleuthing." Financial records of non-U.K. teams "are not publicly accessible and thus educated estimates are applied." The teams' "ability to obfuscate their spending will change when (or if) budget caps are applied." Then teams will still be able to "fudge" expenses such as marketing and certain salaries, "but the balance will be known either through inclusion in the cap, or simple deduction." Part 1 of Rencken's analysis (10th-place Williams through sixth-place McLaren) is available here. Part 2 (fifth-place Haas through first-place Mercedes) is available here. Below are the team's '18 financial figures:
