do the race car drivers get more money each time the advertisement gets seen on TV

The drivers get NO money from the advertisements on their cars and apparel. The team GETS the money. The driver gets the amount negotiated in their contract, no more and no less.

The money from advertising is PAID to the TEAM for the team to be able to continue to run in the competition.

Th amount of times the advertisements, either the car or the drivers in their apparel determines how much the advertiser is willing to pay. For instance, with the Renaults and Ferraris, and to a lesser extent the McLaren's have been up front for most of the race, and hopefully have got more tv coverage out of this, and will demand more money from their sponsors/advertisers due to this.

On the other hand, a Super Agurri is not challenging anywhere in the race and will probably only be on tv due to coverage of another car close by. (Overtaking, lapping, coming out of pits, accident, etc). These advertisers will not pay as much money for their sponsorship.

For instance, now that Button won in a Honda, Honda could ask a new sponsor/advertiser to pay more money then the advertiser would have last week or even last month.

I spend a large amount of money each year on my race car during racing season. Can I deduct any of these expenses when filing my taxes?

If your income is from racing, then your claim your income on your Schedule C (1040 long form), and your expenses there too.

If racing is a hobby - then no, you can't deduct your expenses.

I think NASCAR drivers or formula one drivers are way tougher than boxers because they race almost every week. A boxer fights like what, once every 6 months? They train as much as race car drivers, so why are boxers even considered athletes?

No way, boxers go through months of training for one fight, boxing is the sport that needs the most endurance, not to mention the beatings they get. Also boxers cant do the nasty while training, now thats tough!

My friend is 6'10" and he is interested in becoming a race car driver and he asked me what I thought about him becoming one, but I think he's too tall to fit into most cars for F1, or even for Nascar. I want to double check first before I tell him what I think.

race drivers are in the same boat as jockey's. mass = less power, but if he is already 6' 10" his chances of making it to f1 are all but dead already, that doesnt mean he cant race and have alot of fun, but most of the top drivers come from wealthy famlies, and started before they were ten years old,
