Why is f1 so expensive




















Thanavich, also known as Harry, was attracted to writing because of his appreciation for eloquent language. Yes, I agree to the Privacy Policy. Next article. CARS formula 1. In the video, Collins opened up that the V6-powered cars are almost hand-built.

He explained it using a piece of carbon fiber component that he had found from the crash site at Silverstone. Hence, the component could possibly belong to Red Bull. And you could see the number of different processes that go into manufacturing a part like this. These prices are astronomical and may make us wonder who in their right mind would buy something for that price, but there are.

Who has not ever purchased a costly product as a whim, gift, or at an event? The prices of these products are like this because there is a market behind them. These products, such as caps, t-shirts, or sweatshirts, are of good quality, and it must be taken into account that the sponsors and brands that appear on the products increase the cost of the product. Appearing, for example, on a shirt increases the exposure of that sponsor, so they will have to pay more money to the team to appear in their merchandising, as it is another form of advertising.

Many people like to wear their favorite team jersey and show the world their unconditional support. Below we have a comparison between different F1 and other sports products to see if the prices are similar or not. The prices have been taken from official websites, although they may vary from one to another. We can see that it is not only in F1 that prices are so high, since, although prices vary, they are also generally high in other sports.

Fans of other sports such as football or basketball also complain about overpriced products, especially when they come out at the beginning of the season, which is when they are most expensive and create the most excitement. F1's 2. Research-and-development spending on the new engines drove the increase, as well as investment in F1's kinetic energy recovery system KERS , which uses energy created under braking to give an added boost on acceleration.

The engines epitomize engineering excellence. They rev to 18, rpm and produce somewhere around hp, with race fuel-consumption typically around the 4-mpg mark. Although the engines need to last, building them out of the toughest materials available isn't always an option. Weight is an overriding demand on an F1 car's development.

The technical regulations state that each car's minimum weight must be kilograms 1, If the car weighs any more, it might lose a performance advantage and with such tiny time differences between race positions, every milligram matters. F1 teams rely on what are known as rapid prototype machines that -- using a laser -- cut carbon-fiber parts from computer designs.

This is how teams create the first build of a car in the relatively short window between November and March when they aren't racing. Even the driver's seat is specially designed, and each is anatomically crafted to suit the contours of the driver's body; several seat fittings might be required just to construct it.
