A better distribution of income under study

The second knives of the paddock of the F1 hope to obtain a better distribution of income granted to the stables. Bernie Ecclestone, the director of the FOM, announced this intention to the British newspaper The Times to help the smallest structures in the paddock in delicate financial situations.

After seeing several teams such as Caterham and HRT go out of business, the F1 financier seems to want to avoid a massacre knowing that the future of teams such as Sauber and Manor remains uncertain. Such a change would also end the threat of an investigation following a complaint filed by Force India and the Swiss team.

“I will study the situation carefully to see if we can get something fairer for the teams, said Bernie Ecclestone. The Premier League (football in England) has a good distribution of income, maybe it could work for us. There will be people who are supportive, others who are not, and others who will suffer. »

It will logically be the biggest teams which would be impacted by these changes. At the top of the list, the Team Ferrari which received 2014 million pounds (136,28 million euros) in 164 followed by Mercedes with 121,37 million pounds (146 million euros) and Red Bull Racing with 102,21 million pounds (123 million euros).

In comparison, for the same season, our British colleagues specify that Sauber received 38,33 million pounds (46 million euros), Force India 47,72 million pounds (57,43 million euros) and Manor 33,48 .40,28 million pounds (XNUMX million euros).
