Force India, Lotus and Sauber continue to ask for financial help from Bernie Ecclestone and the sports owner CVC Capital Partners, but it’s Caterham who’s received help.
The team, which is currently in administration, has raised £2.35 million in funds to make it back on the grid for the season finale this weekend.
Ecclestone has also come to their aid, despite lashing out at Caterham last week for what he described as “begging”.
“They wanted to go, so we’ve transported them [their freight] at no cost to them,” he told Press Association Sport.
“We’ve at least helped them to some degree, something we need not have done. We’ve even chartered another plane to take them.
“We’ve gone a little bit over the top, but anyway, we’ve done it.”
