How much does a Formula 1 car cost? The staggering figures that reveal why this sport is so expensive

Formula 1 is not just a speed race, but a culmination of technology, engineering and staggering investment. A complete F1 car costs around 14.7 million euros per season, making this sport among the most expensive in the world.

The engine, the most expensive "Heart"

The most expensive part of the car is the turbo hybrid engine, known as the “Power Unit”, which costs around 9.66 million euros per season. This advanced system combines maximum performance with high energy efficiency and is a masterpiece of modern engineering.

Chassis (car frame): 644,000 euros

Aerodynamic wing (key part for balance and speed): up to 230,000 euros

Steering Wheel (a computer in the shape of a steering wheel): 46,000 euros

"Halo" system for pilot protection: 15,640 euros

Other details that add to the bill

Fuel for a season: up to 28,520 euros

Tires for one race: around 35,880 euros

Carbon brake system: 72,000 euros

Hydraulic system: 156,000 euros

These extraordinary costs help to understand why only a few teams in the world have the opportunity to compete at this level.

Limited budget an effort for equality

To curb costs and create more equality in competition, the FIA ​​introduced a budget cap four years ago, which has been reduced to $140.4 million for the current season. While this cap doesn't cover all expenses (such as driver salaries or marketing), it has brought about significant changes to the way teams operate.
