How much of the Pot of Gold PM brings would be spent repairing the inevitable crash damage?

I think that when you look at the top teams and how intensely they compete for the WCC, their considerations would be for putting the best talent they can into both seats. They want to maximize their chances of getting the revenue that winning the WCC brings. If a driver happens to have sponsorship, that is a plus but I do not believe it to be a prime factor in driver selection for the Ferarris, McLarens, RBRs, etc of the F1 world.
