be nice wicka posted:williams' booze money isn't all that much (15m/year?) and i've heard they're trying to renegotiate for more, but for the most part yeah, a combination of williams not keeping up with exploding budgets plus failing to find a works engine partner. which is funny because people are idiotically comparing mclaren to williams despite mclaren's current struggles being a result of them actually planning ahead and trying to avoid williams' fate by not becoming a customer team. and mclaren even turned down martini's title sponsorship over because it was laughably low. people criticize mclaren for not signing more sponsors, but look what happens when you accept a cut rate. it undermines all future negotiations. it's not surprising that sponsors aren't offering up the big bucks for a team that is currently so poo poo, but as long as they can fund the team then going without many sponsors for a couple years is clearly the right move. I thought their side businesses gave them a lot of money in the budget, especially since they actually make them money.

be nice wicka posted:in ron's most recent interview he suggested that 2015 was the first year mclaren applied technologies turned an appreciable profit. i doubt it's enough to fold back into the F1 team. the car company was spun off so i don't think any of their revenue can be used for F1 either. i think they're mostly just getting a poo poo ton of money from honda. I misread that post, I was talking about Williams.

2012 was way better than 2015. And I'm not just saying that because Pastor Maldonado became a Formula 1 Grand Prix winner.
