What do Formula 1 drivers earn?
Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen are the absolute stars of Formula 1. The three also see themselves being richly rewarded in the form of sky-high salaries. Defending champion Hamilton leads the list with an amount of no less than $ 50 million annually. He is ahead of Ferrari driver Vettel, the German has to do with $ 40 million a year.
Striking name in the top three is Daniel Ricciardo, who chose the switch to Renault in 2019, partly due to the financially attractive proposal. The subtopper transfers $ 27,500,000 annually to the Australian. Max Verstappen also earns a great salary, which is estimated at $ 13.5 million a year. That amount does not include the bonuses for World Cup points, victories and the millions that his personal sponsors bring in every year.
