It is always about money. Every single member of the team wants a bigger paycheck. All of them. They may love their job, but only because they get paid to show up do they do their job. Just like everyone on the planet with a job. More money means more computers, bigger and nicer facilities, and it is the ultimate motivation.

Yea, racing is a true sport, but it is a professional sport. No one does it for fun except club racers, and they all have spent a lot of money to have fun. Money they earned at a job, or the lucky ones got to inherit the money from parents that worked hard.
