Driver Earnings in 2007

Post

With the rift between Hamilton and Alonso seemingly tearing apart Mclaren, and new rumors emerging that Ferrari are making a 17 million euro bid for his services next year to capitilize on the situation, I was wondering who makes what in Formula 1. I have seen drivers salaries posted before but never all at once. I know Kimi is paid 22 million, but is that for the entire contract or one year? I always hear about the top drivers but never mid field or the backmarkers. If you know the drivers salaries please enlighten me. I think it would be interesting to see how much all the drivers make.

In the december or january F1 racing magazine, say's that Kimi's salarie is 1 million dolars in a week (this would be 52 million dolars in a year!!)and his manager said this rumors were under the reality.

I do believe takuma sato is one of the higher paid drivers not from his wage but all the endorsement deals that he has.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
