F1 Fees Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says his team has been left with a bitter-sweet feeling after having to pay a record $4.8 million entry fee for the 2016 Formula 1 championship. The German car manufacturer already had to pay a big fee for this year under the revamped system, after scoring a total of 701 points during the 2014 season. But not only have the fees gone up slightly - Mercedes must pay $6,194 per point scored, on top of a base entry fee of $516,128 – it has also scored two more points than last season. It means the entry fee is a record $4,870,510 – which Wolff admits has been painful to pay. "Expensive," Wolff told Motorsport.com about the scale of its entry fee. "It is always sad signing it off. It was a system being set up a couple of years ago now. "It leads to a situation where if you score a lot of points the entry fee for next year is huge. "Nevertheless we are here for sporting success and scoring that many points means we had a really good season. Therefore maybe there is a bitter-sweet feeling in signing it off."
Points record Mercedes managed to score more points than in 2014 despite the Abu Dhabi finale not having double points this time around. Wolff says he is not too interested in records, though, as long as Mercedes keeps on winning titles. "There are many metrics that we monitor, and which are important to us," he added. "The maximum number of points in not the most obvious one – it is winning the championship and winning many races and being on pole. "There is sporting reliability, mechanical reliability, and overall continuing to develop your team – or the team developing itself. "For me personally the number of points, the highest ever points scoring, is just a figure in a book. It is of no great interest." F1 team entry fees for 2016:
F1 Team Budgets http://www.crash.net/f1/news/221835/1/f1-2015-team-budgets-published-but-which-team-spends-most.html The annual list of Formula 1 team budgets has again been published, with the top-four all set to spend in excess of €400 million this year, it is claimed. Figures in brackets show income from sponsors, then partners and then from TV/FOM... 1. Red Bull Racing (€266m + €35.7m + €167m) = €468.7m F1 Budget bang for the Buck Despite declining sponsorship revenue, the loss of the German Grand Prix (at least for this year) and falling television viewing figures, Formula One team budgets remain quite healthy. This season, every team except Manor is spending more than €100 million (approximately $110 million), according to Business Book GP and the Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo (h/t Crash.net). But, as in any other sport, just because a team spends a truckload of money doesn't guarantee them anything. Red Bull, according to Business Book GP's estimated budgets, are spending more than any other team in 2015, but they currently sit a distant fourth in the constructors' standings. Force India, meanwhile, have the third-lowest budget but are fifth in the championship, ahead of three teams spending more money than they are. Last week, we examined which drivers are providing their teams with the best value for their salaries. Now, let's take a look at which teams are getting the most value for their budgets.
