The Transformation of Formula One Economics
Red Bull's acquisition of the Jaguar Formula One team for $1 in 2004 kickstarted a significant shift in the economics of Formula One. Over two decades, teams like Red Bull Racing have seen massive increases in valuation, with the Mercedes F1 team generating operating profits despite not winning races. The introduction of a cost cap at $135 million annually has leveled the playing field and attracted investments from high-profile individuals like Ryan Reynolds and Lawrence Stroll. This financial sustainability and influx of investments have made Formula One a more lucrative space.
