Ok, i am doing a speech for my speech class at high school about BMW's F1 team. I have a few questions and i was hoping that someone here could answer a few or give me someone that they know who could. Anyone have any connections with any team members??? PM me if you do cause i would love to talk to them. Ok here are a few questions.

How much money annually is put into the BMW Williams F1 program?

How much does each car cost to produce?

How much does it cost to run each car for the season?

The rest are hard ones to answer unless you are on the team, and if you are PM me please!! Or IM me on AOL instant messanger! Thanks!!

The BMW F1 team has a website that you can go to. I don't remember the address, but just do a search on the net for it. The BMW Williams team probably spends in the neighborhood of 70+ million a year. Each chassis is about $850,000 (just the chassis, no engine). To run each car for the season is hard to figure. They actually go through about 8 cars per season (testing, spares, race). For more info check out their website.

Yeah, I was in the end of january in Barcelona and watchin the F1 tests. Talking with some peoples there I´ve heard, that the BMW Williams F1 project has an etat from about 225 Million €, or a bit more. One car is about 2-2.5 million €. And the cost for a season per car is 80 million € I think for 17 races. Hope this helps u, good luck for your speech...

In racing, you gotta have billions to make millions
