Here's an interesting read. Drivers salaries in 2020:
Lewis Hamilton, $47 million
Sebastian Vettel, $35 million
Daniel Ricciardo, $20 million
Max Verstappen, $16 million
Valtteri Bottas, $9 million
Charles Leclerc, $9 million
Kimi Raikkonen, $6 million
Carlos Sainz, $4.5 million
Sergio Perez, $4 million
Esteban Ocon, $4 million
Romain Grosjean, $2 million
Kevin Magnussen, $2 million
Alex Albon, $2 million
Lando Norris, $1.5 million
Lance Stroll, $1.5 million
Pierre Gasly, $1 million
Daniil Kvyat, $750,000
George Russell, $750,000
Nicholas Latifi, $750,000
Antonio Giovinazzi, $500,000
My comments:
Sainz 4.5, Norris 1.5? They've essentially been level pegging in qualifying, finishing positions, and points - so WTF justifies Sainz getting 3 x as much? I guess you don't get what you're worth - you get what you negotiate.
Fascinating to see Stroll getting so much less than Perez, even though he's in Daddy's team
Raikkonen no longer deserves 12 x as much as Giovinazzi. The last few races have seen Giovinazzi beating Raikkonen many times.
Sad that the Williams drivers are so poorly paid. Latifi doesn't deserve much, IMO, but Russell does.
