Prodrive to have $80 million F1 budget in 2008

Quote selected text Published November 4th, 2006 in Main

Which will make them one of the poorer F1 teams!

David RichardsProdrive will enter Formula One in 2008 with a budget of around $80 million, according to the BusinessF1 magazine.

Run by former BAR Honda Team Principal David Richards (pictured right), the Warwickshire based outfit’s potential sponsors are, however, not known.

The estimated budget apparently also does not include the drivers’ bill, which could up the price.

Contrasted with a recent analysis, the $80m figure would make Prodrive nearly the poorest team. It is estimated that Super Aguri spent about $95m in 2006, while the budgets for Spyker and Toro Rosso came in at approximately $76m and $66m.

In other reports of monetary matters within the Grand Prix clique, it is understood that Williams - despite underperforming in the last of a six-year collaboration with BMW - actually showed record profits of $60m in 2005.

The good figures, unveiled in the Grove based company’s annual accounts, can be attributed to the compensation paid by its former engine supplier and Jenson Button for breaching contracts.
