Since we're now in November, that means all of the Formula 1 teams have submitted their financial statements for 2024, and we can have a look at how they're doing financially.
We'll compare them to their 2023 numbers.

A couple of days ago, we got Porsche's Q3 earnings report, and now their withdrawal from WEC suddenly looks less like a surprise and more like a necessity.
The company reported a €966 million operating loss, far worse than the €611 million analysts had expected.

Colton Herta is joining Hitech in Formula 2 next year.
While I still don't really undestand the logic behind the move, he's secured a seat with a team that should be fighting for the championship next year.

Ferrari's stock value ($RACE) dropped 15% today, but contrary to popular belief, the Formula 1 team has nothing to do with it.
