Fast Money
Few sports are as synonymous with money as Formula One. Its drivers are among the world’s most highly paid athletes, and it costs more than a billion pounds to keep its ten teams ticking over. Celebrities and their entourages flock to glamorous locations around the world – Monaco, Miami, Las Vegas – to be seen on the grid or lounging on a superyacht. This is a sport where money – the spending of it, the flaunting of it, the ruthless pursuit of it – matters. ‘Fast Money’ treats F1 as the business it is.
