How do F1 teams make money?

F1 teams primarily earn revenue through sponsorship deals, where brands pay to have their logos displayed on cars and team gear. They also receive prize money based on their performance in the Constructors' Championship, like Mercedes will for Antonelli's win. Other income streams include merchandising and selling technology or expertise to other racing series.
