According to a report from Forbes, Verstappen earns the most at an astonishing $🃏60 million, while Hamilton is second on the list - for the first time since pre-2013 - at $55 million.

Mark🌊o’s quotes come after reports of Ferrari making a substantial £40 million offer for Ha𒐪milton to join the team.

Marko believes that money could be a key motivating factor for Hamilton to ensure he’s earning 𝔍the most money on the grid.

"There are two things that really annoy Hamilton," Marko told F1 Insider. "Firstly, that he is no longer world champion and will find it difficult to become one again in the fu👍ture.

"He knows ther🔯e is no place for him at Red Bull. And whether Ferrari will be better for him in terms of sport than Mercedes is not set in stone.

"In addition to the sporting perspective, Lewis is anything but happy that he is no longer the highest-earning driver in F1. `This is Max Verstappen now. At least that he could change with Ferra𝓀ri's help."

Hamilton is out o🐻f contract at the end ꦗof 2023, but all signs are pointing towards him remaining with Mercedes.
