That would be something like $25,000 per lap per per race.
Allow me to be cynical. With all these bonuses being bandied about, I take it that the Company's generosity has not been extended to the 'silly buggers' that endeavour to keep their old jalopies mobile and in good condition by paying exorbitant prices for their spares ?
On another tack, I find Formula 1 somewhat less enthralling nowadays. The air of superficiality, the remoteness of action from the spectators, is something I really can't get used to. It's been a bit like that with the Motor Bikes as well - unfortunately, there are not all that many Rossis about to create excitement. It's just all so sober and clinical. Regards Styria

Yes and the more they spend on non core items that have no bearing on road product. The more they have to amortise cost in general product. Which includes rising the price of products that they made over 20 years ago.
