I found the following here;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One

"In March 2007, F1 Racing published its annual estimates of spending by Formula One teams. The total spending of all eleven teams in 2006 was estimated at $2.9 billion. This was broken down as follows; Toyota $418.5 million, Ferrari $406.5 m, McLaren $402 m, Honda $380.5 m, BMW Sauber $355 m, Renault $324 m, Red Bull $252 m, Williams $195.5 m, Midland F1/Spyker-MF1 $120 m, Toro Rosso $75 m, and Super Aguri $57 million."

Also found this article about reduced spending here;

http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,614440,00.html

"With big-name sponsors dropping out, F1's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, announced plans on March 17 to do just that. On deck is a voluntary spending cap that would limit teams' annual budgets to $43.5 million from 2010 onwards. That's just one-fifth the amount Mercedes spent last season to propel 24-year-old Lewis Hamilton to his first-ever Formula One title."

Since Honda has pulled out of F1 that means that ten teams should spend about $435 million in 2010 down from 2.9 bil in 2006.
