"Renault, for example, reportedly spent around €8million on development and manufacture of its season two powertrain."
"Operating budgets are hard to get a handle on but are thought to be around €10million a year"
"Renault bosses insisted they spent no more than around €4million on their season two powertrain;"
I don't know what is Renault or the whole Renault-Nissan alliance's annual R&D spending, but multiple _billions_ for sure.
edit: well that
wasn't hard to google: 560 billion yen last year = 4 billion euros. Of course not all of that goes into a single area but still the FE program or any racing program budget is a tiny percentage assuming it even comes from the R&D budget.
