Time budgets within the various teams of circus. After 19 great prizes and lots of trips around the world, the post season is the right time to pull all the sums that concern the expenses incurred during the whole season. As we know well, next year, each team will have to face higher costs quite important, the development of the new V6 up studies in the wind tunnel for aerodynamics of new cars. Each component will have to be revised and modeled according to the new guidelines from the FIA branched. The question arises: but the plan to reduce costs that happened? It 'a question that unfortunately, at the moment, We can not answer. In any case the topic that will be treated today is not the next but, considering that from next season there will be a marked change in costs, it is interesting to find out what kind of charges they faced the team during this 2013. How much it cost to assemble the cars until two days ago they were fighting in the circuit Intergalos?
renault-energy-f1-4Prima any explanation or numerical data, it is important to stress that those who are going to look at the figures are indicative to which are added all the costs for the design. Through a research carried out by us (thanks to some figures diramante by Sky Sports F1 HD in a report broadcast during the last race weekend) we were able to find out the cost of production of the main parts of a car. Obviously for the stables there are not only these expenses but also development costs, Focus on track, wind tunnel car (for those who have not owned), trips, Electronic devices for the box back etc etc. Those that we're going to highlight are only the data referring to the car but, obviously, expenses are not limited to the aerodynamic and mechanical components.
here's the list:
Frame - 1 million and 200 EUR thousand
or (including front bulkhead or rear) – 500 EUR thousand
Fund vehicle - 500 EUR thousand
Muzzle - 300 EUR thousand
Steering wheel - 60.000 EUR thousand
motor unit (propeller, change and KERS) – 12 million euro
Suspensions - 150 EUR thousand
Looking + treatments – 400 EUR thousand
Collaggi, harnesses and seat - 3 million euro
MES unit (McLaren Electronic System) – 160 EUR thousand
Pirelli compounds - 1500 euro a set (6 tough, 5 soft, 4 intermediate, 3 wet for a total of 120 EUR thousand)
Leads / rods wheels and suspensions (security device) – 10.000 euro
rubber Tightening Bolt - minimum 800 euro each
side radiator - minimum 35.000 euro
Pliers for carbon brakes – 10.000 euro
Carbon Brake - 15.000 euro
Mirrors - 5.000 euro
d12bel26Il engine block / KERS / change, As expected, It is the most expensive and, very curious thing, customer teams do not pay that sum to buy the motor, but they spend their Euros to have the opportunity to hire it. Leaving aside then Ferrari and Mercedes, all teams are obliged to pay the rental unit propulsive. Scrolling down the list we find in the second position all costs arising from the seat, wiring (that within a F1 are so many) and the special adhesives that are used for the manufacture of the car. Third position for the frame that, remember, It is manufactured to precise safety standards that are subsequently verified through testing crash (which is of course paid). From next season will no longer be necessary for the bellies considering that will come into force a new side protection designed by Red Bull in collaboration with the FIA.
cerchio_zigrinato21Risultano the high prices of the various wings (the figure includes both the main floor that the sidebands), circles (where they pay dearly for the various treatments, see for example the Polysil) and background (that encloses the speaker, subject of many studies over the last season). Note the almost exorbitant price of the security cables that serve to prevent loss of the wheels in case of impact (10.000 euro). Same goes for the steering wheel, in the current car, It is a real computer considering that in it are contained many electricity boards, display and many manettini to adjust the car's settings. When a driver, for a pure gesture of anger, launches ground sends a flying in the wind 60.000 EUR material. The perennial race to the security costs to the stables well 800 € bolt for tightening wheel, 10 thousand euro for carbon calipers newly developed and 15 thousand euro for the actual brake. To have the unique unit MES (compulsory) each team has to shell out well 160 EUR thousand.
Pirelli-Tires-2013-interlagosConcludiamo our analysis with the costs of Pirelli tires: Whereas a coast tires in September 1500 euro and the Italian house provides well 18 set ogni week-end (11 slick e 7 wet), the teams are forced to pay more than 120 thousand euro to appointment. A really impressive sum considering that the purchase of the compounds is mandatory. We talk so much about cost reduction but these figures show that the circus struggling to metabolize this road. It was decided to amend Regulation 2014 to stabilize costs, but the Federation, currently, is achieving the exact opposite since in 2014 these costs will suffer variations in high. What to say, perhaps in Paris should open their eyes and see reality from the facts, instead of applying silly rules that do nothing but kill the sport. Perhaps everyone would derive a benefit.
