$443,800,000 Ferrari
$353,300,000 Williams
$304,600,000 McLaren
$290,400,000 Toyota
$225,100,000 BAR
$206,800,000 Renault
$119,500,000 Sauber
$ 79,200,000 Jordan
$ 78,800,000 Jaguar
$ 39,600,000 Minardi

I think that's it's still reasonable to assume that the teams who build their own engines, chassis and operate their own indpendant wind tunnels, are probably all spending in excess of a quarter of a billion dollars each.

A drop to $40m is to operate on less than a fifth of current budgets. If even Super Aguri spent $57m to muck about at the end of the field, then asking everyone to do it on a smaller budget again is sheer madness.
