in short: CCB status

7.5 percent of F1’s profit is handed to the top three teams based on the number of races won in the four seasons prior to 2012, which is when this benefit was first introduced. This bonus pot is known as the Constructors’ Championship Bonus fund and it comes to at least $100 million annually. It is guaranteed regardless of the results that the teams achieved the previous year.

According to the prospectus, this sees “the team ranked first receiving 37 percent of the CCB fund (with a minimum payment of $37 million, the second team receiving 33 percent of the CCB fund (minimum $33 million and the third team receiving 30 percent of the CCB fund (minimum U.S. $30 million).

so there you go.

also;

may i imagine then that would RedBull - Honda happen, they'll have a 500 million budget without additional sponsors (WOWZERS).

imagine this, snatching some big sponsors from the competition:

HONDA (300 million)
RedBull (200 million)
johnnie walker (10 mil)
SAP (4,5 mil)
rexona (15 mil)
Mobil 1 (20 mil)
Rauch (4 mil)
EPSON (4 mil)
UPS ( 23 mil)
kaspersky (22 mil)
santander (30,5 mil)

that would make a total budget of 633 Million!!!!
that should get them dominating like nothing you've ever seen before
