https://manofmany.com/entertainment/sport/top-f1-driver-salaries-2022
Found the above on my apple news feed this morning. I got questions: How accurate are these numbers and were does this come from? Do teams really provide this info on their drivers to the public? Does F1 require them to release this? The article does say this.... "Max Verstappen’s salary—as impressive it may be—is merely the tip of an iceberg that includes sponsorships, partnerships, investments, and all kinds of free swag, amongst other things. The same goes for any of the sport’s major stars." But I would think that they get bonuses for wins and podiums and points scored. Interesting that Lando makes more that Ricardo. Does this mean Lando is the #1 driver? Is Lance worth $10M??? And shouldn't this be called an allowance from his dad and not a salary? Perez should be paid more. Your thoughts???

Speaking of Lance ... him answering the question this morning in FP1 regarding how their cars are now remarkably similar to Red Bull (no doubt with the help of those engineers that swapped teams), he looked like the cat that ate the canary. I'm surprised he didn't bust out laughing

After Practice 2
Ham looked happy for the first time this season.

Interesting Qualifying. Schumacher made it to Q3 for the first time. Both HAAS in Q3.

That was a pretty good run for Ham
Given his position (last place) on second lap. IMO

Probably the hardest he's ever had to drive™.
Looks like Russell is really starting to figure out the Benz.

He is a talented driver, but he is so lucky, it is hard to beat him. George is really showing his talent. Ferrari has some real reliability issues they need to figure out ASAP.

HAM Lap 2 : "Can I go home now, can we save the engine? What's the point? Whaaa"
Mercedes: "Hey do your job, you can salvage points" Brit Media: "HAM driver of the day !!" LOL...I miss US commentators.. Russell though, man, impressive kid!! Gutted for Leclerc and Ferrari, would have kept the fight interesting.. |

Since when did FP1 and FP2 move to Friday in Monaco? It has always been on Thursday for reasons that escape me.

Watching FP1 in Monaco that is a crazy narrow track . Have we reached a point where the new cars are too fast/wide/heavy for this track ?

Tradition über alles! (Not to mention the pallets of money this race brings to anyone and everyone involved.) I'm glad to see that Danny had some speed first practice. Can't help thinking his time at McLaren is going to be through soon if he doesn't sort things out, but projecting ahead it would be cool to see him in Indycar or even NASCAR. Wonder how Ferrari is feeling about Li'l Schumacher? Remember when teams would have special suspension and steering just for Monaco and just for the Lowes (edit, Loews, sorry.) hairpin? I wonder what they do now?
