Problem were sp. Ferrari & Mclaren as Global Economy progressed inversely Brand Value increased and More Money came in from the sponsors .. so they had more disposable money like sponsors! ..that's the way i think it all started! to keep with competition rest of the Teams kept burning their pockets....On the way we lost few teams.Expenditure $$$ Figure never descended sharply.blizzard wrote:Does anyone have an answer, why F1 became so horribly expensive over the last decade? Team Budgets have almost doubled since 97, although engine development is banned, testing is limited, engines have to last 2 races, no tyre war and so on. I don´t understand it. No wonder they´re trying to save money and cut the costs. It´s really a shame, in the mid 90´s F1 was much cheaper, but also there was much more freedom for the teams, unlimited testing, unlimited spare part use, unlimited engine use, free choice of v8,v10 or v12 and so on.
Very sad development in my oppinion.
MW Sauber test driver Christian Klien has dismissed as "unnecessary" some of the expenditure in Formula One.
"Perhaps too much money is wasted," the Austrian, who last season tested with the Honda team, said in interview with the newspaper Kurier.
"Take Jenson Button: he uses 18 helmets per season and every one costs 6,000 euros before the paint," he cited as an example.
"I ask myself if this is necessary," said Klien.

Yeah that's true of course, but I think Hamilton did the most, I really think so...TwistedArmco wrote:Other people did some overtaking too..joostlamers wrote:

Okay, then who? Please tell me, I'm anxious to know... Hamilton overtook 8 in Monza, at least 3 in Hockenheim, 3 in Silverstone, again a few in France, Massa in Turkey... and so on... I'm convinced Hamilton won the overtaking-cupshail69 wrote:nojoostlamers wrote:Yeah that's true of course, but I think Hamilton did the most, I really think so...TwistedArmco wrote:Other people did some overtaking too..joostlamers wrote:

its one of he midfield runners who do many overtakings. Because there the midfield is very pack and if you just lose a few tenths in quali then you ends up way back. The only race where Hamilton overtook was in italy where he did terrible at quali.
