Forda should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Race teams aren't supposed to be "profitable" per se; rather their expenditure should match, or be less than, their incoming sponsorship income per annum.

888 are different in that they act as the official "factory" supplier of components and parts. The income from that, less the applicable expenditure, should be for keeps.
As should be any merchandise profits.

That the whole thing is sinking into the red is a worry, particularly given the above, plus the recent sale of the state-of-art transporter; as well as a chunk of equity in the operation, and a former race-winning chassis as well.

Sceptics might well ask: "where has all the money gone?".
