What does Ferrari spend on its team per year? More than US$100 million? That kind of money to watch overpayed primadonnas run in circles. There is something wrong in this equation.

Now im no expert on moter-racing! In fact i really really hate it.
But from what i understand and read, Ferrari are not the biggest spenders in F1. Someone like Reanualt or Toyota is by a long distance. What makes teams like Ferrari so succesfull is that nearly all parts of the car are built in house (except tyres!), so they can pretty much control reliability.
I agree with you though the massive amounts of money spent in this elitest 'sport' is vastly wrong imho.
But then I dont really care either way!
Oh, I i think Button is an over exposed, over payed and vastly over rated C*$T!
