Ferrari I suppose were racing for free.

Ferrari, remember, have the special deal with BE, which gives them over 200 millions - so, it would look bad if the published list has Ferrari at the top and Red Bull as the World Champions only second...

Ferrari set for more prize money than Red Bull

[vlad]

Rubbish!

[bud]

This is totally unfair, unacceptable and the other teams should really be proactive in making a change forthcoming!

[vlad]

Why did the chicken cross the road? Why did Ferrari leave FOTA?

[andrew]

To be fair to Ferrari, I think all the other teams made a rod for their own backs by agreeing a Concorde Agreement which allowed Ferrari to get more than their fair share. Whilst it is , I would hold the other teams just as accountable for this daftness as Ferrari, MrE and the FIA.

[bud]

It states in your link Andrew the teams agree with the 2.5% bonus Ferrari receives but as we see they finish 3rd but get more than the team finishing 1st. They really shouldn't get anything extra!

[myownalias]

I have long said that Ferrari get paid more because of their history, basically living off past glories, I think the additional money that Ferrari get should be shared amoung the smaller teams to help push them forward... Ferrari are one of the few teams that could operate effectively without any money from FOM, preferential treatment for Ferrari is nothing new in F1!

[darwin dali]

Ferrari got the sweet deal because they were the first to jump ship and sign the Concorde agreement - thereafter, the opposition crumbled and everybody signed their lives away with Bernie. So, it's the aftermath of BE's bribery that still has its ripple effects.

You mean, Ferrari were telling everyone to hold off signing the Concorde agreement, to get a better deal and screwed over the rest of the teams by signing a preferential deal behind their backs.

It's how Ferrari rolls.

No matter, see if they ever win a Championship again.

[LewEngBridewell]

Nothing new here. Unfair treatment for Ferrari, as per. Cannot believe the team has finished out of the top two for THREE WHOLE YEARS in a row and is STILL getting more cash than the teams that BEAT them fair and square. Oh, I don't even know why I get bothered any more, it will never change.

[What's Burning?]

It's a business, and Ferrari brings quite a bit of Money (read fans) to the business even when they come in 3rd for three years running.
