It's all included, TPC costs are quite small as far as I saw. The car is already made and operational. Only extra fuel, fluids, tyres and renting out the track for a how ever long they need it. Personel costs are already covered, transport costs are small.

I guess TPC-testing is not included into the cap, otherwise I don't think Mercedes could afford the resulting costs of 9000km of running?
Ok, thank you. In terms of money it's for sure not a big deal for Merc, but budget cap-wise I'd say 9000 km of driving is some 100k's?Vanja #66 wrote: ↑03 Jan 2025, 19:59It's all included, TPC costs are quite small as far as I saw.

Even if it's close to 1m it will pay off. Bearman had a lot of FP1s and 3 full races. Doohan had a race and FP1s, Hadjar had some FP1s too. Only Bortoleto is without experience
