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???
