Only $46.4 million dollars

That is insane, i wonder how in the world a company gets that money back through sales.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I love how they blanked out the reference numbers but kept in the bank details! :eek:

 

[Sa3ana3a]

I would let them brand all parts of my little Ford Fiesta for a fraction of that sponsorship money.

If we count Driver Championships we get these numbers.

RBR - 7 years - 2 championships = Every 3.5 years RBR wins one championship.

Mclaren - 45 years - 12 championships = Every 3.75 years Mclaren wins one championship.

Ferrari - 61 years - 15 championships = Every 4 years Ferrari wins one championship.

WINNER: Red Bull Racing

Cheers Hampus, interesting stats, just need Williams to make there way back to the sharp end and start adding to those numbers..

Yea that would be incredible if they did. Hopefully they are on their way now with the re-vamp they have been talking about this year.

Updated with winstreaks, WDC & WCC.

Driver Championships.

RBR - 7 years - 2 championships = Every 3.5 years RBR wins one championship.

Although the stats are interesting, those ratios are not very meaningful for RB, the divisor is way too small. And Brawn GP is off the chart

Yea i know, RBR is a bit too young compared to the rest but fun nonetheless

 

[Scott Webber]

Remember i was posting Live Images of practice and Qualifying last year, a few members really enjoyed this, would you guys like to see this again this year?

I cannot tell you yet whether i will be taking pictures from the F1 HD Channel or from the standard sky F1 channel.

but i will carry on if you guys want it back

 

[Chris Jenkins]

If you've got the time to do it Scott, I'm sure we'd all enjoy it again

 

[Lars Brugman]

That would be cool for sure!

 

[Hampus Andersson]

I will watch practice and qualifying so for me it don´t matter

[John Robertson]

lol bram you get my vote for king of the internet

 

[Paul Lock]

Here's a question. Myself and the missus are thinking of taking a little holiday and trying to combine it with a GP, probably one in Europe.

Anyone done this from the UK or have suggestions or experience to help me out?
Preferably it would be a sunny GP, so Spa is out

 

[Chris Jenkins]

My only advice is get your GP tickets soon. Prices seem to rocket up closer to the time.

 

[Chris Cronshaw]

Cheers Hampus, interesting stats, just need Williams to make there way back to the sharp end and start adding to those numbers..

Agree with that. It's crazy to think that up until 1999 Williams were the most successful team in F1 and they'd only been around for 20 odd years or so.
