2012 Formula One Discussion
Re: 2012 Formula One Discussion
I always thought Hamilton was paid more.
I can see why Raikkonen isn't paid as much, because of him being out of the game for 2 years, acclimatisation and lotus' budget. Massa though is massively overpaid, vettel under paid too.
But this doesnt take into account sponsorship and all that either does it?

Re: 2012 Formula One Discussion
It'll just be basic salary from the team. They easily double or treble that in sponsorship.
I didn't think Button was on that much to be honest.

Like Kevin says, just a basic salary. I believe Red Bull have lower basic salaries but big win bonuses.mikhailv wrote:vettel under paid too.

Yeah, I heard something like a Million or so per win. Bloody costly last year for them!donald29 wrote:Like Kevin says, just a basic salary. I believe Red Bull have lower basic salaries but big win bonuses.mikhailv wrote:vettel under paid too.

Yup, I'll bet 2011 must've been terrible for Red Bull.

Really surprised di Resta is the second lowest paid driver on the grid, 'only' £160,000!
Re: 2012 Formula One Discussion
Not really. With him comes the mercedes deal and backing, doesn't it? Ontop of sponsorship. Then again. Id do F1 racing for 30k a year, let alone 30 MILLION!donald29 wrote:Really surprised di Resta is the second lowest paid driver on the grid, 'only' £160,000!
Re: 2012 Formula One Discussion
He has no contract or anything with Mercedes any more, not since 2010.
Re: 2012 Formula One Discussion
but he is still backed by them isnt he? Otherwise merc wouldnt be so keen on him
Re: 2012 Formula One Discussion
Confirms what Kimi said that money was not an issue. Also no wonder Kimi's cooperation with Robertsons has cooled down. He is no longer big business for them, and maybe they have or are now looking for a new talent.icemaid wrote:9. Raikknonen - 5 million

I'm a Button fan, but would never count out Alonso even if he was driving for HRT - He is a monster behind the wheel and drives with so much passion!mikhailv wrote:If Alonso wins this years championship, everyone who said I was a stark raving lunatic must eat their microphone sponges and/or ALONS0 keys from their keyboards.

Not even a discount on Force India's Mercedes engines?

I understood that was what swung the deal for Vijay Mallya to get rid of Liuzzi for di Resta.François wrote:Not even a discount on Force India's Mercedes engines?
