I can tell you, but it won't be pretty: we don't fly cattle class, we don't do cheap hotels/Airbnb, and we don't do grandstands.
All told, this Singapore GP cost us +- R400k. But you can easily do it for 1/10th of this p.p if you buy the Pentravel-type packages.

Seems to be some drama unfolding regarding budget caps and RB
Sounds like he's trying to suck up!
And if AMR did break the budget cap, then they clearly researched the wrong things as they sucked!
The important bit is that RB may have as well.
That is correct. Cannot wait for the Hamilton fans who joined F1 in 2021 to start bleating again.
The team should be punished, not the drivers. They'd have nothing to do with that breach. And I mean all 4 drivers of both teams.
Agreed, it's a team thing.

Superior logic there

It'd be hard to argue the drivers didn't benefit from the spending.
Definitely, but ultimately the drivers don't set the budget or plan the spending and the constructors are competing in the constructor's championship so it's in their interest as a team whereas the driver is simply the driver.

They drove the car and are part of the team.
Dude, have you checked Twitter? I've blocked so many "F1 fans" who only seem to spew hate and sh)t there. NOW, the Formula1 Twitter page is so much nicer.Superior logic there
Superior logic? I'm glad you thought that, but you'd know if I was using it...I was pointing out something in a real world scenario.
Definitely. Don't just punish VW for Dieselgate, punish the workers who helped assemble all those diesel engines.
What was it again..."superior logic there"...?
NETFLIX are still scripting them, we will find out at the end of the year

Doubling down on that superior logic.Definitely. Don't just punish VW for Dieselgate, punish the workers who helped assemble all those diesel engines.
What was it again..."superior logic there"...?
Again...using the analogy I put forward to the quovadis guy: VW sold a lot of their diesel engined cars based on falsified numbers. So why punish VW alone? Punish the workers who assembled the engines.The trouble is this is huge money. At what point is it just "cheating to get ahead" and outright fraud. Not the drivers fault, but if they benefitted from the company cheating. Funny enough the last big one by a team that I recall was Benneton in 1994 - Jos was driving for them at the time when his car caught fire, triggering the investigation into their refuelling setup.
See where all this could go? Sure, the drivers did benefit to a greater or lesser extent. Are they involved with budgeting? Building the parts? Deciding to go over the budget cap? No to all of them.
So if the team cheated, then they need to be punished, but the drivers haven't got anything to do with that.
