Honda, which spent more than £300m a year on F1

http://www.formula1.com/news/intervi...09/3/9020.html

Today, BMW is spending 40 percent less on its involvement in Formula One than in 2005. Back then we were an engine supplier, but now have our own team, of course. Significant savings have been achieved through increases in the mileage required of each engine. When BMW returned to Formula One in 2000, we were using one engine for free practice, replacing it for qualifying and then fitting another new one for the race. This outlay has since been gradually reigned in and today each driver has to make do with eight engines for the full duration of the season. The heavily reduced testing schedule has brought further substantial budget savings. Testing on race circuits is banned outside of race weekends until 31st December 2009 2007

Toyota:$418.5 million
Ferrari:$406.5 million
Mclaren:$402 million
Honda:$380.5 million
BMW Sauber:$355 million
Renault:$324 million
Red Bull:$252 million
Williams:$195.5 million
Spyker:$120 million
Toro Rosso:$75 million
Super Aguri:$57 million
