168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 driver salaries plus bonuses from their teams are not their only earnings (they also pocket money through sponsorships and marketing activities) but th꧒ese numbers are estimated solely on t♊heir on-track earnings.
The top 10 drivers raked i💛n $258m combined this year, a reduction from $264 in 2022.
Verstappen's huge bonuses, having won 19 grands prix, ⛎made a huge difference.
But Ha🎃milton is reportedly on a bigger base salary than Verstappen. Although he d👍idn't claim a penny in bonuses after a second winless year.
Verstappen can probably hope for🅷 a raise from Red Bull after his record-breaking year, while Hamilton penned a new contract with Mercedes midway through 2023.
“Clearly that is a big differentiator today, that big teams can just offer much bigger salaries to drivers,” Mercedes team🍷 principal 𒊎Toto Wolff told Forbes.
Haas’ Guenther Steiner added: “Once the cost cap starts to work even better than now, anܫd I’m saying it🅘’s already working good now, the driver will have more of an impact again.
“And obviously the price for the 🐻drivers will go up.”
