About the budget cap caused F1 to ask in detail

As the name suggests, the wind tunnel is in a long and narrow space similar to a hole, so that it can produce various speeds of air flow (the principle is simple, but the cost is very high) If you put the car inside, you can test the aerodynamic performance of the car more obviously, intuitively and conveniently, so that you can test the car for a long time and all weather, in fact, the wind tunnel is very helpful to the F1 sport itself, but the key is that every qualified team tries to make the wind tunnel, and because the wind tunnel has a strong driving force on the performance of the car, the more often the wind tunnel is used, the better the results Slowly, the teams refused to give up any opportunity to use the wind tunnel, so the extremely large budget was added to the wind tunnel, in fact, the teams also have a feeling that the wind tunnel experiment is difficult to ride, the current economic crisis and the increasingly tight energy environment, the controversy over the money-burning sport of F1 is also getting louder, so the FIA is considering cutting the F1 budget, so there is the situation you said And the FIA simply eliminated a lot of aerodynamic kits on the F1 body, so this year's F1 body is much smoother than before.

The maximum speed of the engine directly affects the maximum output of the engine! This is directly related to the most important parameters of the car, such as the top speed and maximum acceleration! The main reason for limiting the engine speed is that the FIA wants to reduce the speed of F1, which sounds ridiculous in motorsport, but the FIA is also to protect the safety of the drivers, so we don't have much to say, not only the speed limit, but the engine has also been reduced from the original 12 cylinders to the current 8 cylinders, which is why many people wonder why most of the track records are set in '04, because in '04, F1 has developed to the extreme, and then it is no longer the same.

Track testing is the testing of cars on the track, and the FIA used to allow the organizing committee to give the teams a certain amount of time to test them on various tracks, but now it's reduced to just cut costs

I wrote it on my phone, and I just knew that I was working hard

During non-race periods, track tests are carried out to check the performance of the car, and various parts of the car are adjusted and upgraded.

To put it simply, the 40 million budget refers to the total budget limit of 40 million for all teams with budget caps in the future, which does not include driver salaries.

The upside, allowing for unlimited testing and unlimited use of the wind tunnel, KERS has increased from 82 hp per lap this year to 160 hp, and even allows the team to adjust the angle of the rear wing in design races.

Each fleet can choose to wear and no budget caps.

Leaving aside all the explanations on the table, I'll give you the most straightforward answer to why almost all teams are reluctant to implement the budget cap, not because they don't want to wear the budget cap, but because they don't want to implement this policy in the sport of Formula 1.

In fact, FOTA members are all in favor of reducing F1 expenses, and this Ferrari is also in favor of it, but not in the way it is now.

Although there are so many benefits to joining the budget cap team, the key thing is that if you develop a component, who will judge how much your component is worth?

The FIA has to set up a budget committee, which has pricing power.

For example, if Renault develops a kit, and other teams also develop a kit, how to evaluate the value?

To put it bluntly, it is the budget committee that has the final say, in other words, the FIA has the final say.

FIA believes that your kit is worth 5 million, and you only have 35 million to use in the future, and if FIA thinks that your kit is worth 50,000, then you will have 39.95 million to use in the future.

It's almost the same as saying that the FIA manipulated the race and wanted which team to win was just a matter of words on their lips.

And the so-called budget committee will definitely become a base camp for stuffing red envelopes, treats, and bribes.

What if you don't have a budget cap? The other teams with the budget cap have a huge advantage before the season even starts.

And, if there are not teams without budget caps, it is conceivable that the FIA will give as many benefits as possible to the teams with budget caps to make them successful, and try to win as many teams without budget caps as possible.

So, to sum up, it's actually a conspiracy on the part of the FIA, whether you wear a budget hat or not, they can put the whole event, from any corner or even the final championship, into their own control, and we look at the one-and-a-half-hour race, and we may just see a week ago, Moseley casually said which driver to win next week.

Almost all the manufacturer's teams have stood up against it, and this issue is likely to speak for itself, and even the MCs who did not declare their withdrawal stood up and said that they were against it, but they just didn't quit.

1.The budget cap is only the maximum budget for the development of the car and does not include the team's marketing expenses and team hospitality, the remuneration of the regular drivers and test drivers, and the team's expenditure on the development of young drivers.

2.Fines imposed by the FIA, as well as fines that teams can demonstrate that a particular investment did not affect their race performance, are also excluded from the budget cap.

2.The budget cap also does not cover dividends and taxes on the profits earned by the team from participating in the F1 Grand Prix. It's worth noting that the team's engine development costs don't count towards the budget, but only for one season.

Each team must not spend more than £40 million per year (other than driver wages, car manufacturing costs, transport costs and some hospitality costs that the team can attest) to.

Ferrari spends a lot of money every year on the development of racing cars, which are within the range of 40 million yuan, which will affect the development of racing cars, of course, Ferrari will oppose it.

The FIA's forced introduction of a £40 million budget cap without consulting the teams violated Ferrari's "technical rules veto".

For example, Ferrari, which has a budget of almost 400 million a year, now only races for 40 million pounds, can have a big impact on results.

It's the upper limit! How can you win without investment? That's why the Ferraris will oppose it, because of the financial crisis.

Each team may not spend more than £40 million a year on new vehicle development, travel and staff compensation (excluding driver salaries).

Pros: It can save the cost of the fleet and ensure the survival of the small fleet.

Harm: This will reduce the gap between the teams (the big teams can't do R&D, the small teams don't have the money to do R&D).

In fact, the main objection of the team is the coexistence of the budget cap. If the budget cap is not accepted, all provisions remain as is. If you accept it, you can get more relaxation in technology research and development (engine speed and aerodynamics are no longer limited).

Such a provision clearly undermines the most basic fairness of F1 for a long time.

Simply put, it's about limiting the F1 team's budget.

The specific events are as follows:

Starting in 2010, all teams have the option to build and operate their cars under strict budget cap constraints.

The budget cap for 2010 will be £40 million per season. This number includes all fleet costs except for the following:

1. Market and hospitality.

2. Remuneration for test drivers and regular racers, including all young rider events.

3. Fines or penalties enforced by the FIA.

4. Engine overhead (2010 only).

5. All expenses that the team can prove that have no impact on their World Championship performance.

6. Dividends paid out from participation in the World Championships (including taxes based on them).

The fiscal year used for these rules is January 1 and December 31.

A new Budget Committee will be established to monitor and enforce these financial regulations of the budget cap. The Budget Committee will consist of a Chairman and two members, all appointed by the World Motor Sport Council for a period of three years.

One of the members should be an expert in the financial sector, and the other should have a high level of experience in motorsports. The chair should have appropriate experience and prestige in the field of motor sports or sports management. All members of the budget committee are independent of all fleets.

The Formula 1 management company and the owner of the commercial rights to F1 (i.e. Bernie Ecclestone) has agreed to provide entry fees and expenses to the new teams on top of the existing fees that will continue to be paid to the top 10 teams in the World Championship. These include: paying $10 million per team per year; and air freight for each race held outside the European continent, providing air freight for each team to transport two chassis and 1,000 kg of supplies (excluding the two chassis); and 20 tickets (economy class).

To be eligible for this right, each new team must be qualified as a "manufacturer", demonstrating that it has the necessary facilities, financial resources and technical capabilities to compete in Formula 1.

In order to ensure that these cars can compete with other teams that are not subject to budget cap restrictions. Budget cap vehicles will allow for greater freedom.

The main technical freedoms enjoyed:

1. Front and rear deformable wings.

2. The engine speed is not limited.

The team also enjoys unrestricted out-of-season track testing, with no restrictions on model scale and wind speed for wind tunnel testing.

The F1 organizing committee forced the team to change something this year, and then many F1 manufacturers did not change, Ferrari seemed to say no, the F1 organizing committee said, if you don't change it, you will quit, and there is a reason for saying this, because the Honda team has withdrawn from F1 due to the financial crisis, so the F1 organizing committee is a little dead set on these teams, thinking that these teams can withdraw from F1 so easily when they encounter problems, to put it bluntly, these F1 team manufacturers are a little cold.

It's still a matter of the car's performance, but the rules are definitely the biggest obstacle.

KERS is an abbreviation for Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems. The basic principle is to store the braking energy of the body through technical means and use it as auxiliary power during the acceleration of the car!

The current level of KERS technology is basically limited to collecting the kinetic energy generated by the brakes (about 80 horsepower) and releasing it in seconds per lap.

However, most teams seem to have encountered problems with the development of the Kinetic Energy ** system, with six teams already announcing that they will not bring the KERS system to Australia. They are: Williams, Toro Rosso, Red Bull, Force India, Brown GP, Toyota.

Ferrari says it would be a waste to introduce the system at a time when the emphasis is on savings. BMW also admits that although it is satisfied with the development process of the kinetic energy system, the development of the system is really a "huge challenge". But at this year's Monaco Grand Prix, only Ferrari and McLaren used the KERS system (I just added it after watching the last sentence).

The energy is mainly accumulated with each braking, allowing for an extra second of 82 hp per lap.

Starting next year, joining the budget cap team, the KERS battery will be allowed to relax to 160 horsepower.

The preparation period is relative to the budget period, which is generally the budget for the next year this year, so the unit price of the preparation period refers to the unit price of the current year, and the unit price for the future budget period.

In the preparation instructions, it is necessary to explain the budget, and the unit price of materials used is based on the information price of the first period, such as you write: the unit price of materials refers to the information price of building materials in Quanzhou City in November 2012 in the "Quanzhou Engineering Cost Management" and some material market inquiries;

8.Mechanical shift: apply the third quarter of Fujian Province 2o12 mechanical shift. In the future, if you change or increase the quota that needs to be supplemented, you must choose the correct information price time.

To put it bluntly, it is the information price of which year and month is selected when compiling.

The unit price during the preparation period is ** for each product at the time of preparation.

The preparation period is relative to the base period. Base period: It is a concept of the foundation period and the initial period, and the "selected sample**" that belongs to this period is called the base period**; the prescribed base date; The specified base day index value (base period index).

The market value of the base period** is fixed for a considerable period of time.

The preparation period refers to the ** period used in the preparation of the budget.

Are you talking about manual calculations or software calculations?

If it is calculated by hand, after the engineering quantity is calculated, start to set the 04 price list. As for how to calculate the quantity, of course, it is calculated after all the quantities of the project are calculated. Specifically, I remember that it was twenty-one projects, and what was in the drawings was calculated.

It is recommended to take a look at the quota book, which has all of them.

If you are using software to calculate, after drawing the model, set the quota in the attribute definition, click to calculate the engineering quantity, and then click the report, and the result will come out.
