Any other information about payment terms

As required, the company's statistics are calculated taking into account both payments made to fellow F1 subsidiaries i.e. intra-group payments, and those made to external "3rd party" suppliers. Intra-group invoices in practice have no set payment dates but are recorded in accounting records as falling due on receipt of invoice. In practice intra-group invoices are settled periodically leading the standard payment days' statistics to be distorted as there are a high volume of intra-group invoices - in the period approximately 75% of all invoices were non-3rd party. Excluding these intra-group invoices from the statistics would reduce the % of invoices due but not paid within the agreed terms at the end of the period from 67% to 49%.

Dispute resolution process

All queries are addressed with suppliers by the Accounts Payable team responsible for all Formula 1's UK subsidiaries. The Accounts Payable team seek to resolve queries directly with the suppliers and through liaison with the relevant Formula 1 managers who were responsible for engaging the particular supplier and confirming the receipt, or otherwise, of the relevant goods or services.
