Budget difference? Probably in the same proportion.

The above is all true, but if you remove the engine team (Ferrari), design team (Red Bull racing) and the chasis team (RBR again) all you have are bunch of guys putting things together like Legos. Minardi on the other hand built their own cars.
That said, it was a great accomplishment for them. This season has had the biggest variety of winners in a long time, between drivers and teams. It's been a good season so far minus the Spa fiasco.
