How much does the winning team get in a formula 1 race?

If the question is "What is the prize money paid to a Formula 1 winner?", the strict answer is "none". Drivers sign a contract with their team at the beginning of a season and this lays out the financial terms. It is not just a flat rate salary but includes bonuses for final race position, practice results and final championship placing of both the driver and team. Most drivers at this level have their own companies and the contract with the race team is just one part of their income. In addition to this, they might have contracts with other sponsors, television and media work and appearance deals. Out of this income, a driver is likely to pay for travel, staffing of a small office and management fees. Teams take part in F1 on the basis of sponsorship from manufacturers or other interested parties. In addition, they share in an end of season "pot" which is negotiated with the management of F1. The share is mainly dependent on championship position but there are variations on this which, at one end of the spectrum, reward the "superteams" and at the other support the smaller ones.

What is the maximum velocity for an f1 car on a straight?

Theoretically a Formula 1 car can have a potential top speed of upwards of 400 KPH.

the configuration of the car is crucial, limited wing to prevent drag, and horsepower limit the car from achieving the hyper speeds. At above 400KPH, the wing required to maintain enough downforce to get the power to the tires starts to equal the drag the car and wing create which in essence cancel each other out. The result is a speed somewhere around 400.
