It's a whole lot less than half Dallara!

I was surprised to read how much Ferrari is in that car - it's every single fking thing except the tub, nose cone (even the wings are Ferrari clones) and engine cover. I'm a whole lot less impressed with Haas' results too.

Given the advantages they had by being outside the rules for a long time and then getting all the customer stuff you would expect them to be competitive. Will be interesting to see how sustainable it all is. They don't have sponsors and whilst HAAS has bags of money how much do you want to chuck away to finish 5th.

FORMULA 1 TEAM PAYMENTS FROM 2015

(Figures via autosport.com)

Ferrari — $192 million

Mercedes — $171 million

Red Bull — $144 million

Williams — $87 million

McLaren — $82 million

Force India — $67 million

Renault — $64 million

Toro Rosso — $57 million

Sauber — $54 million

Manor — $47 million

Note 2 of the 4 top teams get paid above their station. Ferrari didn't win any championships but got the most money. Red Bull got substantially more than Williams despite finishing behind them. System is rubbish.

I like the ability to procure components of other teams. Perhaps they lost needs to be pulled back a bit but the approach is right. Maybe its a for the first 3 three years of a new team thing....thrn revert to a shorter list.

Shame tonsee Sauber struggling at the moment with finances. I will be gutted if they go the way of Tyrrell and Lotus as they have done a solid job since moving into F1

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
