Question

How much does a formula 1 driver make?

Answer 1

1: Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, $55 million

2: Lewis Hamilton $20 million.

3: Fernando Alonso, McLaren, $23 million.

4 Felipe Massa, Ferrari, $11 million.

Answer 2

it varies, some of the lower drivers will be paid <1mil, the lowest drivers are actually bringing money to the team and that is as if they have paid to drive in F1.

On the other hand, M. Schumacher was being paid over US$60mil p.a., + approx $150m in endorsements. He is one of few sportsmen to become billionaires from their sport.

The majority of the top end drivers of today will be in the range of 5 to 20 mil.
