I loved this quote from Williams;

Team boss James Vowles is worried Williams’ numerous crashes, especially late in the season, could tip them over the budget cap.
“If a wheel hits the wall, you can almost certainly expect a million in damage. Because then the wing is also broken, the suspension, the wheel rim, the floor, the sidepod,” Vowles told*Auto Motor und Sport.

Williams €13,839,600
Red Bull €6,148,400 (check the story to see where most of this came from!)
Ferrari €4,892,600
Aston Martin €4,375,000
Mercedes €4,337,600
Racing Bulls €3,686,200
Sauber €2,924,400
Haas €2,666,200
Alpine €2,371,000
McLaren €2,347,200
